Employer to pay employees in eggs. Barter grips Venezuela

Bs 2 million more cardboard eggs weekly: the salary offered by the company in Zulia



To receive the monthly carton of eggs, worth around $ 2 at the black market price, the staff must arrive on time, not lose shifts and dress smartly

A Venezuelan security company is looking to attract personnel with a "motivational" bonus of 120 eggs (a weekly carton) for a good presentation and schedule compliance, along with a salary of Bs 2 million ($ 10 per month).

Aware of the food shortage and the high prices of the economic crisis, Atlas Security, in the western state of Zulia, is looking for security guards with a monthly salary of 2 million bolivares ($ 10 at the black market price) plus a bonus "incentive" of eggs.

To receive the monthly carton of eggs, worth around $ 2 at the black market price, the staff must arrive on time, not lose shifts and dress smartly.

"Many were not complying with these basic rules, that's why we did it," human resources manager Cindy Fuenmayor told Reuters. "We have had many requests since we published the announcement. We are being innovative. It's a good incentive."
