A start-up employment Web site is offering a deal to the jobless – share your story about getting fired and you could win a cruise to the Caribbean.
Simply Hired is looking for the person fired for the most “silly, outrageous or embarrassing reason.”
The AP reports the contest will be judged by a panel that includes Phil Kaplan, “an irreverent entrepreneur who learned a thing or two about sad-sack stories while running a Web site about the foibles of failing Internet companies during the dot-com bust.” Kaplan, if you remember, founded the dot-com megasite f’d company.com.
Early contest submissions for the cruise include “stories about being fired for doing perverse things with prosthetics, refusing to cook the company books and neglecting to sign a holiday card for the boss.” Our kinda people.
