Modern society exhibits a critical lack of real, meaningful work. People instead dedicate themselves to bullshit jobs, earning more than they feel like they deserve (even if it's barely enough to make a living) and often becoming depressed. Here's some common types of BS work:
>flunkies serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants
>goons act aggressively on behalf of their employers, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists
what I really HATE most are the new "gig economy" jobs. like uber, favor delivery, doordash etc. These things pay shit and unlike normal employers don't offer any employee benefits. its really crazy seeing fully capable, healthy adults driving ubers all day for a paltry 3 dollar tip per ride.

Finance middle manager here life is GOD TIER in this profession lads. Very good compensation, unlimited PTO (took 35 days last year), don’t actually do anything make your team do it instead and say it’s “development opportunity” and unlimited TDE. Leave at 5 every single day, actually don’t even have to leave bed to do this (worked from Europe for a month last year) So yeah pretty good stuff

I don't think there are a ton of self-perceived "bullshit jobs."
People generally create internal narratives where their jobs matter. "I keep the office running so we can provide important products," "I help calm anxious/frustrated passengers in their moments of pain" etc.
They might bitch about their job, but deep down, most people genuinely believe the thing they get up every morning to do, and are paid to do, is meaningful -- how could they not?
I work a pretty fluffy job myself, but I'm self employed and view it as a demand that I am supplying for money, which I then use to construct a life I enjoy.
It's hardly "changing the world," but go talk to someone who has been volunteering with an NGO or Teach for America for two years and see if they feel any better about what they're doing.

>taskmasters middle-management is the most bullshit job of them all. I can't wait for when the new wave of automation arrives and these people realise that its not lorry drivers or burger flippers whose jobs are going to AI, but their own retarded micro-management positions. Eventually everything will be systematised so you will no longer need a supervisor breathing down your neck, your productivity and performance will be scrutinised and graded accordingly, rather than having some ridiculous boomer meddling with and prodding you to boost efficiency. I would much rather be a slave to an AI that tells me I've spent too much time at the coffee machine than a middle-aged, overbearing woman who thinks her tactics are the shit, when really her job is a literal waste of money.

how is being a goon a bullshit job? sounds based to me
Ayden White
My particular jobs made some sense but the entire projects were completely pointless most times.
Gabriel Kelly
I'm a headhunter.
I guess that's sort of a bullshit job.
Tyler Hughes
I work in a call centre. Its not a bullshit job because I have worked in a bullshit job that was manual labour. That shit is the fuckin worst work ever. Don't ever take the manual labour pill. Its a fuckin ruse. A joke. An illusion.
