Some TikTok users have even shared that they got substantial raises in their lazy girl jobs by documenting their value to their company, providing concrete evidence of tasks that required more heavy lifting.

Several viewers commented on Tasha’s video, wanting to know where they could find their very own ‘lazy girl’ job. The poster recommended that folks interested in finding this kind of job look for offices hiring a receptionist, such as a doctor or a dentist’s office.

“I’ve been looking for a medical receptionist for so long lol but they want bilingual or are too far or pay too little it’s rough,” one commenter wrote.
