A1 – Anna Im Café

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.

قَدِيْمًا، اِشْتَرَى مَلِكٌ عَادِلٌ نَاقُوسًا كَبِيْرًا. عَلَّقَ المَلِكُ فِي النَّاقُوسِ حَبْلًا طَوِيلًا، وَضَعَهُ فِي سُوقِ المَدِيْنَةِ. سَمَّى المَلِكُ النَّاقُوسَ: «نَاقُوسُ العَدَالَةِ»
دَعَا المَلِكُ النَّاسَ، وَقَالَ: «لَا يَدُقُّ هَذَا النَّاقُوسَ إَلَّا الَّذِي يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلظُّلْمِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، يَجْتَمِعُ القُضَاةُ وَيَبْحَثُونَ فِي مُشْكِلَتِهِ وَيُعْطُونَهُ حَقَّهُ.» لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، اِنْتَشَرَ العَدْلُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.
وَفِي قَرْيَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، عَاشَ شَيْخٌ بَخِيلٌ. عِنْدَمَا كَانَ الشَّيْخُ شَابًّا، كَانَ كَرِيمًا وَفَارِسًا مِغْوَارًا. كَانَ عِنْدَ الشَّيْخِ حِصَانٌ يُحِبُّهُ كَثِيرًا. مَعَ مُرُورِ الوَقْتِ، أَهْمَلَ الشَّيْخُ الحِصَانَ وَتَرَكَهُ بِدُونِ رِعَايَةٍ.
قَرَّرَ الشَّيْخُ البَخِيلُ طَرْدَ الحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ. بَحَثَ الحِصَانُ عَنْ طَعَامٍ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا. وَبِيْنَمَا كَانَ الحِصَانُ يَسِيرُ، كَانَ الأَطْفَالُ يَرْمُونَهُ بِالحِجَارَةِ وَتُلَاحِقُهُ الكِلَابُ.
لَمْ يَرْحَمْ أَحَدٌ الحِصَانَ. وَجَدَ الحِصَانُ أَعْشَابًا فَوْقَ نَاقُوسٍ فِي سُوقِ المَدِينَةِ. تَنَاوَلَ الحِصَانُ الأَعْشَابَ فَاهْتَزَّ النَّاقُوسُ وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُهُ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، اِجْتَمَعَ القُضَاةُ فَرَأَوا حِصَانًا عَجُوزًا، فَقَالُوا: “هَذَا حِصَانُ البَخِيلِ، جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ العَدَالَةَ، فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ البَخِيلُ هَذَا الحِصَانُ.»
أَحْضَرَتِ الشُّرْطَةُ البَخِيلَ. وَقَفَ البَخِيلُ أَمَامَ القُضَاةِ. قَالَ القَاضِي الأَكْبَرُ: «كَانَ هَذَا الحِصَانُ صَدِيقَكَ. أَنْتَ خُنْتَهُ عِنْدَمَا طَرَدْتَهُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ!»
عَيَّنَ القُضَاةُ رَجُلاً لِكَي يَرْعَى الحِصَانَ، ثُمَّ حَكَمُوا بِنِصْفِ مَالِ البَخِيلِ لِيَشْتَرِي الرَّجُلُ بِهِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَمَأوَى لِلْحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ.
