The concept of "bullshit jobs" is so hilarious. Honestly it like someone watched "Office Space" and thought it was straight up revolutionary philosophy.
Then decided to stake a huge chunk of their academic career on it.
I assume the creators of said concept regard their jobs as of the utmost importance and regard.
Lol. Lmao even.
- zeroCalories 3y agoThe idea makes sense if you believe in an objective theory of value, as opposed to a subjective(capitalist) theory of value. Calling jobs worthless is also a rhetorical trick that preys on people's anger and insecurities.

The claim made by Bullshit Jobs isn't that N% of jobs are objectively useless in the grand scheme of things, it's that N% of people feel that their jobs are useless. Its n analysis of the alienation of workers from their work.
- rcxdude 3y agoThe claim is stronger: That N% of jobs are useless and everyone including the workers knows it, but cannot acknowledge it.
