This just in: ‘I Got Fired!’ Insurance
Many of you pony up cash each month to pay for car insurance, and some of you also stroke a check for homeowner’s insurance. (OK, a few of you daring individuals roll the dice and stress out every time you run a yellow light or leave the iron on.)
From hotel reservations to famous body parts (we’re looking at you, J. Lo), you can insure almost anything these days for a price. And now you can insure your job and paycheck with “I Got Fired!” insurance.
SlackerState, a new company headquartered in Rochester, NY, has developed a novel concept: You get fired because you screwed up – which is different from getting laid off and collecting unemployment – and you still get paid!
Sometimes you forget to call in sick. Other times you can’t refrain from turning a rude customer’s large Mountain Dew into a “hat” for them. And occasionally you show up on the job somehow forgetting to wear pants. That’s what “I Got Fired!” insurance is for – for when you get canned, the fridge is empty and the bills are still due. And all those other mistakes, foul-ups and indiscretions we can’t think of here.
All you have to do is pitch in a few bucks from each paycheck, and you’ll get a comfy cash cushion to rest your unemployed head on each night after a long day of job hunting, napping, eating Cheetos and playing video games. And by the way, tell mom she doesn’t need to clear out the basement (again). Sound too good to be true…
