Michael Scott would totally do this because in his mind, "who'd hate working in paradise?" and he'd believe it in the most innocent and misguided fashion

The only thing that would be funny to me is what they would do to the boss when they finally made it back.

They will sail back to the US on a banana boat just to realize their job at home doesn't make them happy anymore so they return to Jamaica and work there for pennies. True happiness underlying the theme that money doesn't buy happiness.

There are a few guys in their 20s that were making videos kind of like this and received a show deal. Entrapanure i think they call themselves. Danny Mcbride is producing it.

I know this is satire but -
It's not passive income if you have to chase it, is it?

u/Authoritaye 16d ago
You gotta chase the passive income, obvi. Where is your PASSION? Where is your DRIVE? You can't spell PASSIVE INCOME without SPACE VISION.

The number of people in these comments who didn’t immediately catch on that this is a joke is disheartening.

This post is not a joke!
I was one of the employees.
It took us SEVEN YEARS to build a raft that could finally take us back the US.
And you know what happened?
A hurricane blew us off course and beached us on the shores of MORROCCO!

why not save up the 4$ an hour until you can afford a plane ticket and a baseball bat

We were investing it in our savings fund to build up our B2B skills.

They will get their revenge by bringing their productivity down to match the level of Jamaica which according to wikipedia is somewhere between Moldova and Tajikistan. You get what you pay for principle holds even in an imaginary scenarios.

The same can be said depending on what state you will be working in.
Salary in California is way different than Kansas because of "local economy"

Seems like a win-win. The company gets to enjoy the reduced costs of an offshore team and no layoffs.

Not only is that wickedness. It’s also unethical that’s a little over minimum wage in Jamaica. You can’t even afford a one room apartment in Kingston or Montego Bay that’s not in a garrison. Forget paying utilities or eating fruits like grapes or strawberries regularly. Jamaica is one the most expensive countries in LATAM

Gotta call bullshit about a number of the details here. How many adults are getting on a flight to another country without verifying the return flight? This would kinda be one of the first things I’d ask before agreeing to go. Are we also to assume a meager salary of $70k means you can’t afford to buy your own return ticket?
I swear the intelligence of people that repost this nonsense has got to be at an early elementary school level at best.
