I go back and forth on the idea that some jobs are bullshit, maybe I haven’t been exposed to enough industries or work places. Every place I worked definitely didn’t have bullshit jobs to hand out as adult daycare, but I can see how some places can become bloated because an over ambitious middle manager wants to say they manage X number of people on their resume. So there are bullshit jobs in that there are people who aren’t being utilized correctly, so in that case I’d say they’re no bullshit jobs, just bullshit leadership or managers.
- thewebguyd 11mo agoYeah, I agree with that, and a more accurate description than mine. The people in those roles are being mismanaged/misutilized rather than the job itself being bullshit. I've seen the bloating first hand though, and you're right, that's usually what leads to those jobs. Some department over hires to pad the resume of some middle manager, and now you have a team that's severely over staffed to the point each individual contributor has maybe 2 to 3 hours of actual work to do in a day.
