This.
Every time I come across the concept of a "bullshit" job, I remind myself that it's a self-reported metric, and many people who think that their jobs are bullshit are just wrong.

- pineaux 2y agoNo this is not true. You can easily point out many middle management positions that are basically bullshit jobs. One example I know of in my personal life: People that get promoted because they need to get paid more, because they have been working somewhere for some time, and you need incentives to keep your workers happy and thus you create a bullshit job.
- golergka 2y agoMiddle management is a perfect example of it, actually. A lot of time and effort is sometimes spent drafting reports and creating other data, but the person who's creating them never aggregates them from different sources and doesn't make any decisions based on this data, so to him, it looks completely useless and bullshit.
