Frequently asked questions

Yes, there are some.

What does it pay?

That depends on how much money we can raise flogging t-shirts and through advertising. And one or two other things we aren't talking about yet. Shhh. Keep it under your hat.

If all goes unbelievably well, we are going to pay a lump sum up front, a salary, another lump sum when we sack you after one year - and, of course, a performance-related bonus. We are aiming to offer a total package in the region of GB £500,000.

What does the job involve?

The position of CEO demands that you do no work. At all. Nothing.

You can fulfil this role in your sleep, whilst watching TV, and even whilst still working in your current job.

When is the closing date to apply?

Well, that is laregly dependent on how long it takes us to raise a salary. As and when we reach our target, we'll give everyone a few weeks notice before closing the books.

How long does the position last?

The position of CEO will last for a maximum of one year - less if we can raise the full salary. If all goes well though we want to be able to offer a golden goodbye to take the sting out of being fired.

What about expenses?

An excellent question, and just the sort of display of motivated self-interest we would hope to see in any banking CEO.

If we're honest we've not given that any thought so far. If its a legitimate expense, then we'll cover it. But we're hoping that there won't be many for a CEO who is being paid not to do anything.

Are there any restrictions on how the CEO salary can be spent?

No. If you become CEO of RedStar bank, then your salary is yours and you can do with it what you like.

What if I live overseas?

As the job doesn't require you to do anything, it is geographically neutral. In short, you can live anywhere.
