Get Paid $1,000 to Play Hooky for a Day

Summary

Could you use some time off? A day to spend doing what you want away from work and responsibility? Of course, you could. Do you want to get paid for it? Of course, you do.

As we take the first few steps into 2023, the team at Shane Co. knows there are some early-year events, like the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day, you could use a day off from work for. That’s why we’re sponsoring a contest where you could win $1,000 just for playing hooky for a day (that’s $125/hr. for the day if you need some extra convincing).

The day after the Super Bowl, or “Super Sick Monday” as it’s been dubbed, is one of the most called-out days of the year. Unfortunately, most people who call in sick that day probably aren’t getting paid for it. What better way to kick off (pun intended) the new year than getting paid to play some hooky? All you’ll have to do is tell us why you should be selected by filling out our form below and, once you win, take the day off on us!

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate for this contest would be someone who needs a day off and could really benefit from playing hooky. Which, honestly, is all of us.

The contest is open to everyone. Those in the workforce, stay-at-home parents, students, it doesn’t matter. If you could benefit from a day of playing hooky, we want to hear from you! While not a requirement to enter, we would prefer to know how you’d spend your day off with your partner. 

Applicants to the contest must be 18 years old or older and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be eligible. 

How to Enter

To enter the contest, contestants MUST FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW to the entry form, where you’ll be asked why you are the person we should pay to play hooky for a day.

If you’ve been quickly burning through your PTO this year, are already feeling burned out from 2023, or just need to take a day off for yourself, tell us about it! Convince us as to why you’re the right person for this contest. Make sure to completely fill out all the required fields, like your name and email, so that we can notify the winner once one has been selected.

Any contestants who do not complete the entry form by following the below link will not have an official entry into the contest. 

The deadline for contest entries is February 17, 2023. Contestants will need to submit their applications by that date to be considered. After this date, no further entries to the contest will be permitted.

I enjoy daily exploring the grandness of the world around us. Whether it's a morning hike with family, a 180-mile bike ride, or learning about how injection molds are crafted. Proud Texan who's discovered the majesty of the north and 4 distinct seasons? Who knew. The splendor of Colorado in Autumn or the weeks of pure snow on the fields in Wisconsin... Will never pass up good TexMex. Self-taught web design and development, loved psychology and philosophy courses in college, always looking to learn more and love to share what I've learned along the way.
