> Graeber... [defines] a bullshit job as ‘a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence even though, as part of the conditions of employment, the employee feels obliged to pretend that this is not the case’ > Empirical data suggested that, in fact, relatively few people appear to consider their jobs as useless... > Graeber acknowledged that it was difficult for one person, or several, to determine universally what makes a job ‘useful’ or ‘necessary’. ‘There can be no objective measure of social value,’ he wrote. So basically the prediction is that a lot of people have bullshit jobs and are unwilling to admit it, and when you ask them whether their jobs are bullshit, they say "what, no way", which either proves or disproves the prediction, depending on your definition of bullshit job. Also, there is no definition of what a bullshit job is. Glad I know that now!
