Do you want to break up with your partner, but don’t know what to say? Do you struggle to tell them, “You deserve better”? One company is now hiring people willing to handle breakups — and get paid for it.
You heard that right! Dating.com is now officially hiring a ‘Chief Breakup Officer’ to help people struggling to end relationships. The job is completely remote and pays $3,000 (about Rs 2.8 lakh) per month to professionally manage breakups for others.
What is a “senior detachment officer”?
The title leaves little to the imagination. Dating.com is looking for someone with “exceptional emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of modern dating.”
According to the company, the Chief Breakup Officer will be tasked with communicating clearly, compassionately, and using the right approach to ending relationships for those who already know it’s over. They will also be asked to “assess the chaos: an easy exit, a complex or complete disaster.”
People who have survived at least three breakups and understand the difference between a relationship, a situation, and “it’s complicated” will be given an advantage. The Congressional Budget Office also needs to turn messy endings into respectful goodbyes, while delivering the bad news and taking the pressure.
Why does this job exist?
The main goal of the Chief Breakup Officer position is to end the culture of “ghosting,” where one partner cuts off all contact without communicating with the other. Dating.com cited a study that said 84% of Gen Z and Millennials have been ghosted at the end of a relationship.
said Jaime Bronstein, the platform’s in-house dating expert Deputy“People have never enjoyed difficult conversations, and modern technology has made it easier to avoid them. Statistics show us that there is a problem with strict communication, emotional responsibility, and accountability.”
Since most people are tired of the ghosting culture, the strange situation promises some closure at the end of the relationship. Outsourcing your breakup may seem like a crazy idea, but it can work for people who aren’t comfortable with silent goodbyes.
