A SLIPPER-LOVER could be a shoe-in for a £40,000 (US$54,260)-a-year role — to wear comfy footwear all day during lockdown. A nightwear company Bedroom Athletics wants to hire a man and woman to be “Slipper Testers” to test and review its latest designs — and pay them for the privilege. Bedroom Athletics says the role is the “Cinderella of the job market” — and applicants will try on slipper boots, mules and loafers before they are released on the market. But the successful applicants will have to toe the line — and wear slippers for at least 12 hours a day and provide footsie feedback. The firm says it is the perfect lockdown job — and would also suit a student, part-time worker or a stay-at-home parent. Bedroom Athletics Founder Howard Wetter said: “With the two new slipper testers on-board we’ll be in an even better position to provide the U.K.’s working from home work-force with second-to-none quality slippers. I can’t wait to see the applications, with recent lockdowns across the U.K. we hope it will be the perfect job for someone, it really is a great role to slip into.” (SD-Agencies) |
