- smackeyacky 2y agoThat’s not entirely fair. Jobs automated out of existence weren’t bullshit jobs. Bullshit jobs are HR and project management. Made up fluff nobody really needs.
- _heimdall 2y agoThat's a huge blanket statement. Bullshit jobs aren't tied to any specific industries, and all jobs in HR and project management aren't bullshit.
- DonsDiscountGas 2y agoIf they can be easily automated they should be. Keeping a human doing a job that doesn't need to be done by a human is a bullshit job. It might not have been a bullshit job twenty years ago, that doesn't matter. Things change.
- protocolture 2y agoNo the bullshit jobs I see people complain about are often linked to "Couldnt someone automate this" like taking notes from inbound phonecalls and simply relaying messages inside the office.
