Blizzard Hiring, Strongmen Needed

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Interested in a job with Starcraft and Warcraft developers Blizzard? You're going to need to put on a gun show.

Reader Chris pointed us toward this advertisement for a Junior Linux Administrator, and among the expected criteria like a driver's license, knowledge of Linux and a bachelor's degree is this:

Ability (and willingness) to lift a minimum of 30 kg

Americans, that's 66lbs. Minimum. For a job that's not laying bricks or being an old-timey strongman, that's pretty hefty! Anyone who's worked a similar kind of position before, is heavy, manual labour an everyday part of the job? Would an employer sit you down in an interview and ask "WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?" Or are Blizzard just being funny?
