Nice to see more empirical backing of the Bullshit Jobs theory
The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.
The study, by Simon Walo, of Zurich University, Switzerland, is the first to give quantitative support to a theory put forward by the American anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that many jobs were “bullshit”—socially useless and meaningless.
my job is socially useful but it’s only something that takes like idk 15 hours a week to do, so forcing me to be on the clock 40 hours a week is bullshit. luckily i can squeeze in 25 hours of reading and gaming and get paid to do it
