Fiverr, is a website where people can offer their services – copywriting, website-building, fixing; all sorts – to others for £5.
Someone spotted one of their new ads in a subway station, and shared it on Twitter.
It says:
You eat a coffee for lunch. You follow through on your follow through. Sleep deprivation is your drug of choice. You might be a doer.
It’s signed off “in doers we trust”.
First of all, Fiverr, if you try to "eat" coffee, it's probably time to put the laptop away and have a good lie down.
Second, many people are pointing out that it's irresponsible to promote working pointlessly long hours at the cost of your health and wellbeing.
If there was ever a sign that capitalism has gone too far; this ad is it.
Many pointed out it was entire the 'wrong message':
Others called it 'damaging':
indy100 has contacted Fiverr for comment.
