Mad how we're one of the richest countries in the world, and yet 80% of our economy is made up of a completely bullshit service sector which makes no tangible difference to the world and which wouldn't really affect things if it were to completely disappear overnight

In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber argues that the productivity benefits of automation have not led to a 15-hour workweek, as predicted by the economist Keynes in 1930, but instead to "bullshit jobs": "a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless that even the employee cannot justify its existence
He describes, five types of entirely pointless jobs:
1. flunkies, who serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants
2. goons, who act aggressively on behalf of their employers, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers
3. telemarketers, public relations specialists
duct tapers, who ameliorate preventable problems, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers whose bags don't arrive
4. box tickers, who use paperwork or gestures as a proxy for action, e.g., performance managers, in-house magazine journalists, leisure coordinators
5. taskmasters, who manage—or create extra work for—those who don't need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professiona
