Unaware of what you want to do in life, but know that you want a director-level job with a splashy company that serves free food? Have we found the spot for you! Google is looking for a "Director of Other" on its corporate job listing page, and the description of the post is just as vague as their flacks' conversations with reporters.
As our core business continues to enjoy phenomenal success, our tangential efforts must equally evolve to capitalize on opportunities before us. Under the "Other" umbrella, Google aims to identify and pursue opportunities where technology can revolutionize traditional and more mature industries.

Maybe the "Director of Other" oversees the heated toilet seats and the massage therapist.
This makes perfect sense. Google tries hard to snap up top talent of all varieties; why should bullshitting be exempt?
I feel immensely overqualified for such a nonsensical position. I have successfully directed "other" for many years now and would enjoy the opportunity of becoming the first ever - in the entire history of business - Director of Somesuch. I knew Google was full of shit, but even this goes above and beyond their already-filled-with-bullshit capacity.
