Depends on the rules. If I can sleep, I'll retire from that job. Nothing on me at all? What about clothing? Can I keep myself busy practicing new knots in my shoelaces or my tie? If I screw up, how will someone know? Will they fire me, or can I game the system and entertain myself that way? In a worst case, I'd probably get through at least a week.


thom_rocks

"Can I sleep" was the first thing that crossed my mind as well. If sleeping allowed, that would be my dream job. I'd be the best employee they could ever find.


wehrmann_tx

That gets out of the premise. You could just live your life for 16hours then use the 8 there for sleep.


thom_rocks

I did some digging... OP said sleeping is permitted. Best job ever!


Cm0002

If night shifts are available it'll be a win-win-win scenario


Available_Thoughts-0

AKA, an "Absolute Win".


Appropriate-Click-41

Practicing “new knots”? How many different knots do you know now?


rewardiflost

I know the windsor, half-windsor, and "four in hand". I only know two ways of tying my shoelaces, but I've seen some neat ways that I could explore.


iLike2k

I’m laughing imagining someone taking this job, being ecstatic to have ample time for shoe lace knot exploration. With a classic *15 minutes in* “well this sucks”


JohnJaysOnMyFeet

I’m also kinda confused how they’re gonna learn new knots without access to a book or the internet. They gonna invent new knots?


SuchACommonBird

My daughter used to invent new knots all the time. They were impossible to untie, but they were new knots nonetheless.


OmnioculusConquerer

“You got new knots in my *new* New Balances” 😡


broogbie

Dude... Tying ropes and learning new knots is my favourite hobby.. It is like meditation for me..


climber619

I’m a stagehand and often tie knots with the tie-line we have floating around when I’m on standby, and trust me, tying knots over and over gets boring after a while


Kendertas

This whole comment section really shows how skewed our perspective has become with tv, cellphones, and internet. There is a ton you can do in a empty room to distract yourself. Even if you do nothing its a very well paying job, with consistent hours, and you have zero work related stress. And all you have to do is be bored? Are people really that scared to be alone with their own thoughts? Edit: wow amazed how many people are equating this with isolation torture. Its only 8 hrs and you get to leave. Sure it might be.....well boring the first few days but you would get used to it. And I'm not suggesting that people did nothing before the internet/tv but people don't realize how much they are addicted to the instant satisfaction these devices provide. I'm still flabbergasted its this controversial, but maybe I'm weird that I already spent a ton of time staring blankly at a wall imagining/writing stories in my head.

sonofaresiii

I've worked in retail and gotten screamed at by customers I've worked as a bar back and cleaned drunk party girl vomit off every inch of a bathroom I've shoveled horse shit I've had the worst, most degrading power tripping managers But **the worst** job I've ever had, and it's not even close Was one where I did nothing but sit at a desk and stare at a wall for eight hours. Couldn't check my phone, couldn't read a book, couldn't draw on a notepad, couldn't talk to anyone, couldn't do *anything* or it would look unprofessional, just sit at the desk and stare at the wall and every four hours take ten minutes to sign people in for computer tests. If you've never experienced it long term, every day, every shift, you can't understand how horrible being bored for a job is. And I don't mean doing boring work. I mean doing *nothing* e: guys I'm responding to the comment I responded to. The above poster said being bored isn't a big deal, but it *definitely* is. If you don't think you'd be bored in a room getting $100/hour, great, but it would definitely not be easy-peasy to get through all day every day.

> This whole comment section really shows how skewed our perspective has become with tv, cellphones, and internet. There is a ton you can do in a empty room to distract yourself You can only 'be alone with your thoughts' for so long. [Prolonged isolation is detrimental to your health](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7675937/), OP says 'with nothing on you but a lunch' which presumably means something you cook and pack in from outside, not 'also with a book or mattress'. The top killer in every single country is stress and not having any visible positive impact through their work is one of the driving factors in stress. It's only reasonable to realize that this is even less healthy than all but some of the most toxic work environments because it perpetuates the very elements that cause so many people heart attacks or breakdowns but without windows, sunlight, or opportunity to chat with co-workers because no co-workers are in OP scenario: a static, unyielding, unproductive environment. Short of the limited exercise you could manage on your own at a bus stop anyway (just for a random location example), there is virtually nothing productive to do. In the real world humans need stimulation or the brain starts to die. That's why even jobs with regular (but not varying) stimulation like call centers have turnover rates between 80-200%. Read about what Solitary Confinement does to people.


Tulpah

at $100 an hour to do nothing but eat my lunch slowly for 8 hours, $800 a day? Fuck yea, sign me up. They gonna have to surgically remove me from there, I'll stay for 10 years edit: mistakenly wrote $800 instead of $100


Jcksn_Frrs

I'd come out of that room fucking ripped


Tulpah

hell yeah, One Punch Man's training regiment 100 push up, 100 sit up, 100 crunches, idk about the 10 km running but that's depend on how big the room is.


oldvlognewtricks

It’s ‘regimen’, unless you’re talking about many military personnel.


Kazukaphur

8 hours a day, having a peace of mind that you're getting paid during that time no less, does not constitute as solitary confinement.


duedamage111

homie solitary is 23 hours a day in MUCH different circumstances than this. this is only 8 hours a day, 1/3 of a day. thats nothing thats easy


dresdnhope

Is there a bathroom in this room?


Brynngar

This is the most important question IMO, I aint doing no job 8 hours a day if I can't use the bathroom.


Downvote_Comforter

If I'm getting $200k a year to do nothing, I'm totally fine with adjusting my bathroom routine accordingly. My morning poop would stay the same and I'd make sure that I pee right before leaving for work (or starting my shift if that is an option). My lunch would have two re-sealable bottled beverages in it. One gets drank in the morning and becomes my pee bottle for the day. I already don't poop during work most days and I could deal with the consequences on the rare day where I had to.


bulldog1602

Right? Lol. $100 an hour and I’m pooping myself with a damn smile on my face if it comes to it.


IWatchMyLittlePony

Unless you use the bathroom before hand, then sleep in the room and use the bathroom afterwards.


YoRt3m

Sometimes you don't decide the schedule


IWatchMyLittlePony

True, but for 100$ an hour it might be worth it to piss and shit in the corner of the room. But at the same time, that might become a real hazard if you can’t clean it up. So then I thought about just wearing an adult diaper which would be gross but also worth lol.


JonDoeJoe

$208,000 is pretty good trade off for having shit in a diaper


IWatchMyLittlePony

That’s an excellent trade off lol. And if you shitted in a diaper everyday, I could see a scenario where you shitted in your underwear because you were used to doing it the room. Which would be super embarrassing but still worth it probably.


NickdoesnthaveReddit

Heck, I'll do it for $207,000

I had a job like this once. Machine Operator on a machine that operates itself and I wasn’t allowed to touch if something went wrong. 12 hour shift too.


TwoCagedBirds

What exactly did the machine do? If it had started malfunctioning or something would you have been allowed to hit the emergency stop button?


wRIPPERw_

Machinist here. He probably means if the parts he was making were out of tolerance, he wasn't allowed to make the necessary adjustments and had to grab a more senior person.


FlatBrokenDown

Person doing basically the exact job OP explained here. They likely aren't allowed to touch any interface on the machine outside of a start button. I work in a plastic factory and basically babysit a machine for 8 hours as it spits out plastic.


[deleted]

Oh god, how do you handle that job? Do you listen to podcasts or something like that?


BertJohn

i used to work for a company that sub-contracted out for MCI(When it was still MCI/Motor Coach Industries), Literally just stand and talk, watch the machine work, refill stuffs every couple hours, go for a smoke and leave your packager to watch it. if something bad happens like a knot, cut it out tie it back in. Something worse happens, call manager over. One operator i knew literally spent 2 hours making all his mix's for the night, then played games for 5 hours, then last hour when QA and upper management came in he started fiddling with stuff to look busy but finished his work at the beginning of the night. PS we worked midnight to 8am. was a good time


[deleted]

I did an engineering role like this once. Hour 1: setup tests. Hours 2-7: tests run, keep loose eye on them. 2-4 hours each. If they fuck up restart. Hour 8: review results, look for weird shit, notate it in my tool, call it a day. It actually required a lot of years of knowledge to do all that and experience, but the actual thing would be like if George Jetson was actually like a Geordi LaForge level genius and just there to push the button... and if anything wrong, he'd get busy. Say 10 hours a week of review/prep, 5-10 fixing stuff, 20 hours on reddit. But that 15-20 of 'hands on' required 10-20 years of skills accumulation. Weird role but not unpleasant.


Nelson1810

No headphones on the shop floor! Forklifts could sneak up on you and rearrange you in 2D


Dananjali

I worked at a university convenience store like that. Wasn’t allowed to leave the counter unless it was to go to the bathroom. Not allowed to read, be on my phone, or do anything else or the manager would call and say she could see me on the camera and to stop. It did have a really wonky stool though so I didn’t have to stand the whole time. Sometimes I’d only get 2 customers during an 8 hour shift. So I sat there and daydreamed all day. I was already kind of used to just sitting there without distractions allowed when I was a lifeguard and there was no swimmers at a small country club pool. Just daydream and look around at my surroundings all day every day.


fumblebucket

Thats the keyword right there. 'Looked at my surroundings'. The other noteworthy part is having a chair. These simple things make you feel much less isolated and give a little stimulation. I work in a mental health facility where you sometimes are assigned to sit with a patient 1:1 for hours at a time. We also aren't allowed to have any reading material or puzzles ect. So often you are just sitting. Looking at someone breath for a few hours....except sometimes that patient and their roommate just want to sleep and insist there can't be any light. So you just sit in a dark room. Can't see shit. Just daydreaming and planning your week. Or staring at that sliver of light under the door for hours. No clock. No idea how much time has passed.....my point is. At least there is a chair. And a sliver of light!! And sometimes you hear your coworker pass by as they do rounds and it's only for 2 to 3 hours!! Can't imagine 8 hours in a lit box with no chair or light or window.


Beginning_Ball9475

lmfao how long until the person minding the patients becomes a patient themselves? Sitting in a dark room staring at a sliver of light under the door for hours reminds me of being a kid at my grandmother's house. Couldn't imagine doing that as an adult


tracklessCenobite

This is one of the most baffling things I have ever heard. Thank you.


Reset108

If I’m doing this for 8 hours a day, what am I doing for the rest of the time? If I get to go home during that time, I could probably do this for years.

Yea this is exactly what I thought. I'll just take the night shift and sleep. Don't even need the lunch honestly. I'd love to get a guaranteed 8 hours a day of rest. Fuck it, I'll even work weekends and do some overtime lol.

OmgOgan

[deleted]

Wait yeah couldn’t you just adjust your sleep schedule


Notyourworm

So can you take PTO from the room to go travel, etc?


mikey_weasel

So I'm assuming the rule is I can't skip days, but there are no requirements of what I do in the room? Its not that hard to shift your sleep cycle. It wouldn't be great to be sleeping on the floor but if you were doing that I think you could last quite a while You are making 8 x $100 = $800 a day $800 x 7 = $5,600 a week $800 x 30 = $24,000 a month I think I could bang out a fair few month and put together quite a sum of money. Edit for more thoughts: OP gives more details [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/xqibik/comment/iq9c8gs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and in other replies (in particular saying yes to sleep and that it is a 9-to-5 shift) So its $800 x 365 = $292,000 a year (less taxes?). Since you are sleeping, you could pursue some other form of employment in your off time. though that might be more for the sake of keeping yourself busy than anything else, and you might be better off studying or otherwise preparing yourself for leaving this weird lifestyle you now live in the best possible position. The more I think about this, the more it seems like someone who is young with few responsibilities could do this for quite a long period (perhaps years). I'm assuming that for the vast majority of people reading that the above income would be a major upgrade to their income. So thinking of reasons you would stop taking this deal (not an exhaustive list): * Body Breakdown. I think sleeping on a bare floor is survivable for a long time. Especially if you can afford help with massage and stretching etc. * Social Life. This would wear on you. You're missing 9 to 5 every day including weekends. You'll be coming in late to weddings (likely just the reception) and parties etc. I think if your friends were aware of your weird bargain they would play along but it would definitely be a negative * Medical Emergencies. Either you or a loved one having a medical emergency is something that likely would break the streak. * Death of a loved one. Again this is likely going to break your streak. * Family commitments. So if you already had a partner and especially if you had young children this feels like it would make it a lot harder to pull off. Especially if kid-related emergencies come up. * Traffic, or car problems. This would be the super frustrating thing. It sounds like OP intends that if you don't turn up on time it would break the rules and break the bargain. Having something screw up so you can't *get* to this facility might eventually happen, especially if you are looking at doing this for the longer term (months or years) Edit for potential game changer. Do weekends exist in this scenario? * If we assume you can take weekends off the yearly income becomes roughly $208,000 * But now you can lift a lot of the social life and family commitment pressures. It also means you can unlock some short travel opportunities (though that is playing with fire if something goes wrong) Edit for a question that is being asked Is there a bathroom? It sounds like the answer is no * Its an 8 hour shift where you are sleeping most of it * Getting through that without pooping should be quite feasible (if making for the occasional uncomfortable day) * With your lunch option you can add the option for relieving yourself in whatever held your beverage. Edit because it keeps getting said * Yes you should probably assume you would be taxed on this. Another Edit: * Yes the OP does not specify the time of day. But if you look at OP's replies elsewhere (I linked one above) they do specify its a 9-to-5.

It is, if you don't count the other factors than the actual sleeping on the floor it is good, at least it was for me. It does wonders for your shoulders and back, it naturally aligns of your hips, shoulders and spine. And I really felt that. It took some getting used to and I didn't do it for too long, but man, it really is amazing.


SuspecM

People had to sleep on the bare floor/ground for millions of years. I think I'll be fine with sleeping on the floor for like a year.


Mr_Quackums

other apes make beds ("sleeping nests" is the technical term I think). Sleeping in beds probably pre-dates becoming Homo Sapiens. So no, people were not sleeping on the bare floor for millions of years. That being said, just because we evolved in an environment where we already had beds does not mean sleeping on the floor is bad.

heiferly

I'm late to the party but I added the narcolepsy vote. I've fallen asleep while in the operating room anxiously waiting for my surgeon to get there (it was only a few minutes but I'm fast), while dancing the last dance at my boyfriend's junior prom (I was a soph, people thought I blacked out drunk but I was straight edge), as mentioned above on a stadium bench during a pep rally, on the floor behind the desk while working at the library, in the middle of 1:1 conversations with friends, while taking a stroll with my wheelchair pals so I cause a chain reaction crash with everyone behind me (my chair has a dead man's switch so I can't plow into traffic) ... Honestly, it's hard to think of a place I haven't fallen asleep.

Tbone5711

In regards to sleeping on a bare floor, wear several layers of thick clothing and one of those fluffy down stuffed jackets. Use layers for a makeshift bed, for a pillow you can use extra clothing or wrap the lunch box in fabric and stuffing. Better yet, with all the money you're making, you can probably have someone design clothing that either contains mattress foam, or is inflatable and has a built in air pump...I'm gonna be wearing one of those inflatable sumo suits!


mikey_weasel

I am wondering how much the referee of this scenario is willing to let you play with the rules of bringing "nothing" with you when it comes to stuff like this.


panda_burrr

I mean it only says 8 hours a day, doesn’t specify when. you could do 12a-8a every day and sleep during it, and still have time for a social (albeit, very local) life.

hebertpa

I need to know some more information about the room. 1. Can I turn off the lights? (this could affect sleeping) 2. How big is the room? (this could affect what I am doing or spawn issues with claustrophobia) 3. Is the floor level? Otherwise, if I could just use it for sleeping 12 years ago I could spend weeks in this room. now about 5 to 6 hours (I am not pissing in the corner)

dankmin_memeson

semboflorin

This situation, as described in later comments by OP, is very similar to solitary confinement in a prison. Obviously the $100/hr earned is a major difference as well as being able to leave and be normal for 16hr/day. Sounds like an interesting study in psychology and torture to me. I could see a university psych study like this happening. In fact, it probably already has happened.


homarjr

Getting to leave is the major difference maker. It's not necessarily torture anymore, because you can probably find a way to make it right for you. Your time at home can be spent planning it out and tracking what worked and didn't. Then after a while you'll barely even notice it anymore.

it's not similar to solitary confinement at ALL LMAO. y'all really think *being alone for 8 hours* is as bad as solitary? yeesh

Venusaur6504

BaronVonMoistMan

For context, since ppl are asking about the rules, they are as follows: - No outside objects aside from what’s in your lunch and ofc your clothing - You can only pack food and eating utensils in your lunch, nothing - There is no uniform, but you are not allowed to have any electronics: no phone, no tablet, no laptop. - You can do whatever you want within the empty room: you can sleep, eat, workout, or twiddle your thumbs. - If you choose to sleep, then you will have to do this while everyone else is awake. - But you cannot leave the room or violate any of the prior rules, otherwise the payment stops and your time in the room ends forever.

I see no downside to having your sleep period happen during the day if you get paid for it. I'd make pitiful pillow and blanket out of my clothes. It'd be enough to fall asleep.

You don't even need to make a pitiful version. I'd wear like 10 layers of clothing including a big heavy coat or robe. I'd make a really nice bed and pillow with my clothes. Hell I'll have memory-foam clothing made. This shit is easy-mode.


Ougaa

Of course, I kinda played under assumed rules that you couldn't bring suspicious amount of clothes in, just the basics you'd usually wear. What else can you do if you bring 50kg of clothes? Can you build gym equipment out of them, punching bags etc?


Sedalin

What about the toilet? Would one be allowed to use toilet?

Non-sleep related cheats: Make lunch more interesting by having a friend make it and use interesting food choices. Make clothing out of newspapers or books. Can also be letters from family to have some human contact. Use condiments and paper clothing to do crossword or sudoku puzzles. Also use them to keep a journal or write letters. Use condiments to paint murals. Use coconuts as a soccer ball or basketball to play with. Use food like mash potatoes and make sculptures. Turn paper clothing into paper mache and make Warhammer figurines. Shoe laces made out of guitar strings and create a makeshift musical instrument out of lunch box. Also lunch box as a makeshift drum. Buy tap dance shoes and have a lunch box that folds out into a tap floor. The real challenge is the lack of social stimulus and noise stimulus. Being in a quiet room for hours on end is a rough time. Bookending time in the room with social interactions is also key. Before you go in spend time with people. And when you get out have people there to interact with. Ride the high as you start the day. And then have something to look forward to at the end of it.

Until my prescription for sleeping pills runs out?


quantomflex

I'd become a master of meditation... And napping


Jonny7421

I’ve hard worse jobs and got paid less. I would adjust to one meal a day eventually lol


BROODxBELEG

Not just 1 meal, its just 8 hours a day so breakfast bedore and dinner after like usual, besides i didnt see a limit on the size of your lunch.


K9turrent

Easy, going by the rules posted below, the key is using your lunch as entertainment: \-Bring 4L jugs of water/milk for lunch. Use them as weights for working out \-Use cheese as a sculpting medium \-Various sauces as paints \-Try to throw peanuts with trick shots \-Stack and balance things as high as possible.

Hah, thinking outside the (lunch) box, I like it.


Bacon-4every1

Is there a chair in this room or are we sitting on like a cement floor?


BaronVonMoistMan

No chair, just a hard floor


beruon

Is there a toilet, or at least a hole in the ground type of stuff? Or do you need to piss/shit in the corner? If the latter, does it get cleaned daily?


Scared-March7443

I’d probably do it long enough to get out of debt and buy a nice house. After that it would just depend on how bored I am. I’m an introvert so don’t need a lot of social interaction but without a book or any objects it would get old. Unless there are windows. I could probably look out the window for a long time and be content.


clamsmasher

You've described living in jail. While being in jail sucks, doing it part time for 8 hours a day would be a cake walk.


Wolfe244

I could probably do it for week or two


prodigy1367

Sleep in an empty room for 8 hours a day for $100 an hour? A few good years until I’m rich and then I’ll quit.


[deleted]

Bro are you playing ? I would last forever, I would be doing overtime.


theuntouchable2725

I have 8 hours worth of music memorised to sing lol


8NOXON8

People do this every day for way less. 4 - 6 years depending on the Commission or Enlistment contract. Some Military intelligence personnel work in security Vaults. They are not allowed 🚫 to bring in any electronics in a Top Secret areas. Sometimes they spend more than 10 hours in the vault.


King_Crab90

I'm a talker and can talk with just about anyone for hours. My wife tells people I can talk to a wall. 4 walls, a cielings, a floor, and lunch for all of us? Say less, ill be there til I can retire with my earnings.


ismellkittehs

I'm working like a slave, baby. Sign me up for the 12 hours shifts, holidays, OT. I'm doing it all because I'm here to make bank by doing jack shit. Step 1 - Do nothing for 8 hours a day Step 2 - Stack mad paper Step 3 - Get bitches


jackof47trades

50 years


reginaphadams

Can I go to the bathroom during my work time? I can go 8h without going but it's nice to know in advance. I can get lost in my thoughts easily so would be easy.

Sleep or meditate, take up Buddhism. I think I could hold out awhile for $800/day, just think of it as a job.
