Speaking of bullshit jobs and hierarchies, here's a tangent.
Isn't it a little bit strange that we, the people of the world, who are striving for or already live in a market economy and a ndemocracy, are OK with living most of our lives in a hierarchy that in some ways resemble feudalism?
Half the day I live according to this hierarchy:
An Owner (who decide things)
|
CEO (decide/implement things)
|
CFO/CTO (decide/implement things)
|
Chief Product Owner (decide/implement things)
|
Chief Office Officer (mostly decides things)
|
Product Owner (decide/implement things)
|
Tech Lead/Systems Architect (decide/implement things)
|
Developer (implement things)
I'm a developer. I've chosen not to participate in "climbing the ladder" because that would make me less of a developer and more something else. I'm happy being a developer but I find I don't at all enjoy being at the bottom.

- js8 8y agoI am in a similar position and I find it strange, too. That's why I am pro (direct) democracy and minimum basic income, and more or less against power hierarchies. But I know many people that don't want that, or don't care.
- petre 8y agoIt's similar to a centrally planned economy but at a smaller scale. Imagine if your whole economy was organised like that, along with politics and you've got yourself a dystopia.
