In clown world, we have seen a number of rather bizarre phenomena, such as women bragging about earning six figures in big-tech companies while not doing any real work. They seemed to believe that it was their God-given right to earn a fat paycheck for attending yoga lessons at work, “vibing” with their female co-workers — I erroneously typed co-wokers first, which made me chuckle — and relaxing on the rooftop terrace. This led to some women talking about “lazy-girl jobs”. Apparently, these jobs are one step down from the cushy no-work jobs at big tech companies, which were created in order to pay dues to Larry Fink. If companies did not have enough diversity, BlackRock would label them bad investments. This grift is still ongoing, albeit not at the same high level. Lazy-girl jobs are also due to diversity, but they exist when there is some work that needs to be done.
If a company cannot afford to pay women to do nothing at all but still get pressured to hire women then there are ways to carve out jobs that involve a modicum of work. In the past, such tasks may have been done by an intern who worked four hours a week but nowadays we have, for instance, full-time social media managers who post on the various social networks on behalf of the company, in between hour-long sessions on Instagram and Snapchat, presumably. Just like with no-work tech jobs, women seem to misunderstand why such lazy-girl jobs even exist. They only exist because companies get strong-armed into providing employment for women. The bigger the company, the more likely it is that there are lazy-girl jobs.
As odd as lazy-girl jobs may seem, I can easily think of a different environment where these are useful for society. In fact, in more traditional societies, like Japan, there is still not the expectation that women have a life-long career. They get jobs at large companies but the expectation is that they find a husband and subsequently leave the workforce. I recall reading about a diatribe of a Japanese woman who was upset because on her first day of work her manager asked her if she wanted to be introduced to some single male coworkers. She did not want that. Instead, she wanted to have a career, clearly not understanding that this was not why she was hired.
In the West, we also had a similar system in place. There were jobs where the expectation was that women do them for a few years, until they marry and have children. Prime examples are receptionists and secretaries. These women got hired when they were young. Everybody was happy about the eye candy and in the case of personal secretaries, the vice presidents or directors surely appreciated that the company introduced them to young, single women. It was not at all uncommon that these secretaries ended up marrying very successful men. Everybody was happy with this arrangement. Presumably, every secretary who was able to snag a powerful man was supremely happy about that.
Today, though, there is the mistaken assumption that every job is supposed to be part of a “career”. Yet, I think that aged receptionists and secretaries are really sad. They just missed the off-ramp and end up being stuck in a role that they cannot even properly fulfill anymore. This surely also affects morale at the workplace. If you walk into your office building, past two or three receptionists in their 40s, you just do not feel as if you are part of a successful company, even if it is making record profits. On the other hand, had there been two or three prime-caliber sluts smiling and greeting their colleagues, the spirit in the office would be much different. Male coworkers would walk with a spring in their step.
Lazy-girl jobs should be a privilege for young, attractive women to enjoy, with the understanding that they will look for a husband and leave within a few short years. It is crazy to think that just a few decades ago, it was uncommon that women worked. Normally, if they had found a husband, they did not need to work, so having to go to an office or a factory was essentially a form of societal punishment for women who were unable to attract or keep a man. This outcome was not necessarily due to poor looks, given that in the past ugly women also got married. Instead, a woman is normally only single if her standards are too high or if she is simply insufferable. In the past, society was much better organized this way, but with the rise of lazy-girl jobs, it would be possible to reset the clock. Of course, this is not going to happen.
