What kind of heavenly job pays $1.3 million a year without labor?

Have you ever imagined a job where you can earn money without working? In fact, such jobs are quite common in tech companies. And these people can receive a whopping salary of up to 1.3 million yuan just for staying idle at home! It's a career that makes me envious and drooling. So, what kind of job is this?

First, let me tell you that since last year, tech companies have been laying off employees like crazy, citing the tough economic conditions as the reason. But do you know that many of these laid-off employees were actually in a position where the company didn't assign them any work? Recently, many former tech company employees who were laid off have been sharing their experiences on social media platforms like TikTok.

For example, there's a woman named Madeline Machado who was an employee at Meta until last year when she got laid off. She revealed some of her experiences while working at Meta last year, stating that she hardly did any real work. Most of her time was spent attending meaningless meetings, and during all that time, she was still receiving a high annual salary of $190,000! It's enough to make anyone envious. And Madeline is not the only one who received a salary without doing any work. There are many others with similar stories, so Madeline's case is not an isolated incident.

But why do tech companies have so many employees who get paid without doing any work? It turns out that during the pandemic, tech companies were in a period of rapid growth. However, as we all know, the tech industry is highly competitive, so many tech companies took advantage of their strong financial position to recruit industry experts and top talents, building up their 'talent reserve.' But rather than just stockpiling talent, these companies were essentially trying to monopolize talent, preventing these experts from joining their competitors and strengthening their rivals. As a result, they ended up with too many employees, and some of them had no work but were still receiving salaries.

This year, with the tech industry facing a downturn, tech companies have started laying off employees, and those who were receiving salaries without working became the first to be let go. While I don't necessarily endorse this situation, the idea of earning money while lying idle is something I'm quite envious of.

After taking a closer look, this woman seems to be an exception, and she's also been quite lucky. Such cases are very rare. Generally, when a company hires someone they consider talented, they tend to give them important responsibilities and opportunities to contribute. So, similar situations of earning without much effort are almost impossible for most of us. We still need to put in our physical or intellectual efforts to create value.

Exactly! There's no such thing as a free lunch. In the end, the chances of getting laid off are quite high when you're not contributing to the company.

This woman is indeed talented, and the company wanted to retain her, which is why they offered her a high salary. Employers are not foolish; they wouldn't engage in a losing deal.

In any case, with capability, connections, and resources, you can find a job anywhere.

I didn't expect there to be a tactic like monopolizing talent; it's quite an eye-opener. I'd love to have a job where I can earn money while lying down, but it mainly depends on being talented to have that opportunity.
