In Tokyo, Japan, Shoji Morimoto has started a business where he is hired to do absolutely nothing AND he’s making good money doing it (or not doing it). People hire him mostly to accompany them on a job interview, give them support when meeting someone for the first time, or to just sit and listen to them.
He charges close to $100 per job and has been booked for 3,000 jobs so far. Shoji says he will “eat and drink, give simple feedback, but do nothing more.”
I know we are thinking the same thing – There’s a job I can do! Where do I sign up?
