Looking for a “dream job” in NYC? The City That Never Sleeps offers a job as the “bloody” head of a municipal service dedicated to the “slaughter” of millions of rats in the megacity, for $120,000-170,000 a year.
The position of “Rodent Reduction Program Director” attached to the New York City Council can become “your dream job” if you dedicate yourself “24/7 with tenacity and a sense of staging,” boasts an announcement very serious published Wednesday by Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer with a punch who wants to fight against the scourges of his city.
“There is NOTHING I hate as much as rats,” he hammered Thursday on Twitter, promising his fellow citizens, “Your dream job awaits.” According to a tenacious urban legend, there are as many rats in New York as there are people, or nearly nine million. The famous English novelist Charles Dickens had already complained about it when he visited the city in 1842.
“Large-Scale Massacre”
Nearly two centuries later, “the ideal candidate” for Wednesday’s job posting “must be ultra driven, quite bloodthirsty, determined to look at all solutions from various angles, especially to improve operational efficiency, data collection , technological innovation, waste management and large-scale abatement” of these parasites that proliferate in the streets and subways of New York.
The gushing mayor of New York, an elected African-American Democrat from the center right, is offering an annual salary of $120,000 to $170,000 to “achieve the impossible” with a “virulent aversion to vermin” and “a reputation for ringworm.”
City Hall requires a bachelor’s degree, first experience in urban planning and project management, and above all “determination and killer instinct to fight the real enemy: New York’s relentless population of rats”. Like many American cities, New York is also famous for its rodents. Especially because of the garbage bags left by residents and traders on the sidewalks, without containers.
Spending millions of dollars, the municipality regularly tries new techniques to eradicate rats, such as dry ice or alcohol baths: the mayor at the time of the Brooklyn district presented it in 2019, during an unsustainable demonstration… formerly Mr. Adams . In 2021, after the pandemic, a private association of Manhattan residents called RATS organized hunts with their dogs to kill as many rats as possible.
