And How Big is the Tip?

An Australian company is seeking real life testers for its condom products. The “bed-testing” position is unpaid, but 200 selected testers would be up for free pack of Durex products, plus a bonus prize of A$1,000 ($854) for one lucky winner.

In return, testers would have to report back on the feel and performance of the company’s products.

Only Australians need apply, and would-be testers will be asked to explain why they should be considered.

Only Australians? Hardly seems fair. Do you suppose it’s because they spend their whole lives down under anyway?

Imagine that. A job where telling an employee “Fuck You” is just an instruction, and not grounds for legal action.

    I am surprised that I can open this post. You see, my company has a “morality filter” of sorts that blocks websites with certain potty mouth words such as the “F-U” reference above.

    For example, I am unable to take part in the “I declare this not to be shit” thread. The filter keeps blocking me. It really irks me as it looks like a good discussion is going on there….

    Stageleft is not, and never shall be, for the faint of heart or the sensitive of filter.

    Or treehugger maybe you could actually do work when you’re … you know… at work. Sheesh.

    Actually, Treehugger was one of the few non Australians to get hired. He’s just blogging on a break.

    Web filters in the work place? The ways around such things are legion treehugger, next time yer in the bunker breaking bread and drinking beer we’ll review them in depth.

    I didn’t read the link that you provided, but how much do these testers receive per hour? Moreover, I really wonder how candidates prepare for their interview just to say why they should be chosen.
