Ah, Margaritaville Occasions Sq., a land of contrasts. A beacon of seashore chill in the course of New York’s most upsettingly busy neighborhood. A spot with horrible meals and surprisingly good cocktails. A spot that has filed for Chapter 11 chapter twice in an try to refinance $309 million in debt, elevating the query, “If Margaritaville is foreclosed, is there an opportunity I might purchase the enormous light-up Statue of Liberty??”
But it surely seems to be prefer it would possibly survive. This morning, a pal despatched me this job itemizing for a director of operations on the New York location. Too dangerous I don’t match the invoice. In line with the necessities, nobody does.
The complete-time place boasts a six-figure wage and advantages like tuition reimbursement and a “enjoyable, upbeat working atmosphere.” However other than job duties like main managers in strategic growth and sustaining income reviews, there are a slew of bodily necessities and “Important Psychological Alertness Necessities” that make me marvel if anybody at any job can dwell as much as this.
Lots of the bodily necessities, comparable to the flexibility to raise 30 kilos and spend most of your time standing, do sound like a whole lot of jobs that contain handbook labor. Nevertheless, Margaritaville can also be searching for somebody whose “particular imaginative and prescient skills embrace shut, distance, coloration, peripheral, depth notion and the flexibility to regulate focus.” I’m unsure why being colorblind can be a detriment to this job, however these bodily necessities do seem like written with the ADA in thoughts, with a word about cheap lodging. The corporate additionally warns, “Hazards embrace, however usually are not restricted to, cuts from damaged glass and metallic cans, burns, slipping and tripping,” which sound like normal restaurant and kitchen dangers.
However the actual drawback comes with what’s listed beneath the bolded header, “psychological alertness necessities.” On the listing: Candidates have to be keen to “work in a relentless state of alertness,” “work in an unfatigued state,” and have the “capacity to pay attention.” I’m out. Who within the historical past of jobs has ever labored in an unfatigued state? I’m solely in a relentless state of alertness if a jaguar is looking me. Making an attempt to put in writing this sentence I simply stared at my curtains for an excellent 45 seconds, thoughts utterly clean.
If Margaritaville is hiring, maybe that signifies that the chapter labored and it’s not being foreclosed. However godspeed to whoever will get this job. I suppose you’ll need to be alert to not get distracted by the sunshine present on the Statue of Liberty.
