Rapid Read The company is hiring an expert tasked with ending relationships. (AI-Generated Image) Do you wish to break up with your partner, but don’t know what to say? Are you struggling to tell them ‘you deserve better’? A company is now hiring people willing to handle breakups for others – and get paid for it. You heard it right! Dating.com is now officially hiring a ‘Chief Breakup Officer’ to help people who are struggling to end relationships. The job is fully remote and pays $3,000 (about Rs 2.8 lakh) per month to professionally manage breakups for others.

What Is A ‘Chief Breakup Officer’? The title leaves little for 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 with clarity and empathy and using the right approach to end relationships for those who already know its over. They will also be required to “rate the messiness: easy exit, complicated or complete disaster." People who have survived at least three breakups and understand the difference between a relationship, a situationship and “it’s complicated" will be given an edge. The CBO also needs to turn messy endings into respectful goodbyes, while delivering the bad news and taking the heat. Why Does This Job Exist? The main goal of the ‘Chief Breakup Officer’ position is to end the culture of “ghosting", where a partner cuts off all contact without communicating with the other.

Dating.com cited a study that says a staggering 84% of Gen Z and millennials have been ghosted at the end of a relationship. Jaime Bronstein, the platform’s in-house dating expert, told VICE, “People have never enjoyed tough conversations, modern technology has made it easier to avoid them. The statistics show us there is a problem with tough communication, emotional responsibility, and accountability." With most of the people being tired of the ghosting culture, the quirky position promises some closure at the end of a relationship. Outsourcing your breakup may sound like a crazy idea, but it may work for people who are uncomfortable with silent goodbyes.
