Worker claims a $150K per year low-effort job isn't desirable: 'It's like premium unemployment'

Would you quit your job if you won the lottery? That is one of those classic questions we all ponder, hoping that one day we will be able to escape from the monotony of our humdrum routines and retreat into a stress-free life of luxury. Unfortunately, even if you win the lottery, chances are you won't win enough to finance the rest of your life. You get paid a lot one time, and it's your duty to be financially savvy enough not to spend it all in one place.

Some people are even luckier than lottery winners. They've found jobs that are functionally identical to winning the lottery, only having to work a paltry amount and getting paid big bucks for it. One Twitter user recently complained that such jobs aren't worthwhile because they encourage workers not to apply themselves. Clearly, she has no idea how lucky she has it.
