Short YouTube commentary by Alli Peck reacting to a Wall Street Journal piece about “lazy girl jobs.” Peck summarizes the concept (remote work, flexible hours, common titles like Digital Marketing Associate, pay roughly $60–80k), contrasts it with older career advice (e.g., Lean In), and invites viewers to share whether they have such jobs.
I love this article from the Wall Street Journal about lazy girl jobs. You guys know I talk about a lot of mental health in the workplace and differences between different generations in the workplace as well. This article goes on to say that lots of women online are bragging about their work setup using the hashtag lazy girl jobs. A lazy girl job can be done from home. You work for a cool boss and this article says you can earn between 60 and 80,000 a year if you double that. I'm in. But the main point is that people don't want to be compelled to work overtime. Veterans of such jobs encourage having a title like Digital Marketing Associate or Custom Success Manager or Office administrator. I remember reading the book Lean in by Sheryl Sandberg. Make sure you have a seat at the conference table for those big meetings. And this is the complete opposite of that. Let me know if you have a lazy girl job.
