A shepherd advertisement shared on social media attracted great interest in a short time. The offer of a total of 590,000 TL for a shepherd to take care of the flock for 5 months caught attention.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS WAS LISTED ONE BY ONE IN THE ADVERTISEMENT

"PORTABLE WIFI" DETAIL

Another striking detail in the advertisement was the information that portable Wi-Fi would be provided. Social media users shared this detail with humorous comments, and the advertisement quickly went viral.

DIFFERENT COMMENTS WERE MADE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

While some users commented that the advertisement was "the most honest job advertisement in Turkey," others argued that it would be quite difficult for one person to take responsibility for approximately 470 animals. Many people expressed that managing the flock and controlling the animals in the mountains and pastures without loss requires serious effort and responsibility.

Here are some of those comments:

This is Turkey's most honest job advertisement. Because in the city, you work in an office for 590,000 in 5 months. There is no Wi-Fi, no Fanta, no nature. There is only a screen and traffic. At least the guy shows his donkeys.

Taking care of 470 animals is very difficult; one person cannot do it. Imagine 1000 animals, you will take care of half of that, preparing food for 4 Kangal dogs every day is a job in itself.

Take 500 lambs and roam the mountains without losing a single one. If you lose one, it comes out of your pocket. If a wolf takes one, it comes out of your pocket. The guy offered 120,000 TL a month. If he did delivery, there would be no risk, he could earn this money. Why would he go up the mountain to do this job, especially when the owner of the flock places all the risk on the shepherd?

I have thought about quitting the job for 10 seconds.

Where is this place, find me, bro.
