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
Carson Roberts
I work as a door man for a condo so yes.
Landon Morgan
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.
Luke Butler
>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.
Hunter Allen
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.
Jayden Williams
I'm a fish biologist, bullshit job?
Lincoln Lopez
Probably. I work in county government with a bunch of boomers, get paid 55k a year and out of my 35hour work week maybe do 10 hours of actual work. Rest is anmie and shitposting.
Jack Thomas
Yes. I work for the gov. The office is full of redundant people, working just enough to keep busy.
>Be a former aircraft technician with the military >Have a university degree as well as a niche trade skill >Get a job with the government expecting to work on defence projects and weapons purchases >instead they make me a secretary with the highest duty to take notes at meetings and book meeting rooms >Go from signing off 100 million dollar aircraft and being in charge of teams of people to office bitch of the lowest form. >I'm even getting paid less than I was before.
My office is full of people too smart for welfare but not smart enough to actually achieve anything. Fuck me. Anyone else a wagecuck here? I thought i was stepping into a good opportunity to learn defence corporate procedures and am instead relegated to scribbling meeting minutes.
Hudson Adams
Absolutely. I'm a programmer and the most useless person I ever had to deal with directly was a "scrum master" with no tech background, just business.
Jaxson Torres
Lol such bullshit I dont believe anything I do is worth it, its absolute ass. I long for the day I can be free
Jeremiah Price
I'll tell you straight to your face the two most intrinsically worthless jobs are being a salesperson (if your product is good, it's good, why don't you just write down why and stick it on a piece of paper??) And advertising/PR/Marketing agencies and workers. Honestly what do you think about your soul when your job is literally to dupe the great unwashed masses to buy your shitty products? Does it provide solace to know a minimum wage worker sits beside a bus shelter advertising whatever garbage you push while you drive around in your luxury SUV ignoring anyone and everyone... Also financiers and accountants are garbage professions. TL;DR what you already know.
Dominic Hughes
manual labor actually creates something, its not a bullshit job.
im a cook at a high volume restaurant and it pays like shit but i dont feel as hollow as i did when i was a helpdesk drone
Alexander Edwards
Also there are no shit jobs. Capitalism creates worthless jobs
Noah Powell
I test plastic injection molds. People speak about recycling, they have no idea how much waste is done just testing 1 mold. A keyboard needs more than 10 molds... Most of the plastic can't be reused anyway, only for crap stuff like buckets, car industry only uses 1% of recycled material. Don't know how one could say end all plastic when its literaly everywhere.
I'm a french public worker, what do you think? My job could be fully automated by one low skilled coder in a matter of weeks. When Keynes was talking about employing people to dig holes and fill them back he envisioned my daily life. You'd think they employ me for some meaningful task? Fuck no. And tomorrow I'll have to go there, even if there's a lockdown because it will look nice in the record of some high profile bitch aiming at a higher position. You'd think they invest enough to allow us to work from home? Fuck no. TLDR I'm not depressed, I'm royally pissed.
Manual Labour has some of the worst safety provisions out of all industries. Meatworkers chop themselves up regularly, trees fall on forestry workers daily, builders have unfinished scaffolds collapse on them 30 metres up in the air. Hospo is alright I guess. You get the worst of the office - Politics and the worst of manual labour- the high chance of injuring yourself on a daily basis. I hardened the fuck up and just realised if I grow a backbone I can succeed in an office. You do miss the physical side of whacking a hammer about though. Its more fulfilling work I will say that.
I sure feel like it or at the very least I really hate my fucking job. I work in pension accounting and I loathe it with all my heart.
Angel Stewart
Sr financial analyst here. Is it worth sticking it out until management?
Grayson Ramirez
I'm just a sparky making lights go on and giving decent voltage. Life is hard.
Andrew Kelly
We have the power
Industrial or residential?
Aaron Mitchell
You need some way to know what problem should be solved by the programmers, this involves non-technical people but the current methods are shit.
And it's usually preventable with way less money then Shlomo Goldenberg Jr wastes on drugs, prostitutes and his private jet.
Jaxson Long
I worked in politics right out of college and made pencil siege weapons that were way better than that.
Robert Diaz
A waiter is an adult human being that picks up a plate of food from one destination and carries it 4 feet to another destination.
Mason Brown
Im a bartender-nothing BS involved except playing psychologist to lonely fucks who have no social circle to blab to. Great money but tons of physical labor
Jeremiah Sanchez
One of the best jobs I ever had as a kid was loading a Hobart with high school buddies. Had to wear whites. Breathing that lemony steam, the two Negro pot washers in their rubber gloves up to their elbows sang Motown, and they were good. We downed the unfinished drinks that the bus boys brought back and by the end of the shift we were all shit-faced.
Aaron Collins
My internship essentially consists of automating data gathering and treatment for statistic analysis, I don't think it's bullshit but eventually I'll run out of shit to automate when companies get their act together. I want to continue in this direction. Corona-chan just made my current job significantly harder because I can't easily evaluate the company's activity from home, but it wasn't suspended at least.
I'm reading that book next btw, read about it today from another user. I'm waiting to see how society will restructure after this massive crash so I can decide if I should an hero or not.
Asher Bennett
Are you from the past?
Ethan Murphy
I'm a truckdriver driving a freezer boxtruck. Delivering to small bakeries and big factories in a 80km radius everyday. Exactly the opposite of a bullshit job. KYS if you don't do a real job.
Ryder Myers
You're one of the few keeping society from descending into utter chaos now, expect increased respect after this crisis because normies are realizing this too

Short of building a new giant pyramid what would you have us do with all these people?

>tfw archivist >get to spend time arranging and messing around with old stuff and figuring out the structures of organisations. >new and interesting places to go work at, if you're fed up with you're current role. >noone really understands wtf I do, except other archivists, so no supervision, as long as I do a semidecent and keep on schedule they're happy. >job competition is minimal and when it is, I have a shlong in a profession over the brim with cat ladies. >people are always dying and leaving their shit behind, so there's always plenty of jobs. >pay's also decent, if not great.
It's mostly fufilling work - the only downside is watching over the downfall of the west does get to you.
Jose Fisher
I think I'd like to have a job like that, too bad it doesn't pay that well
Cameron Richardson
How much of the workforce is employed specifically to ensure corporate compliance with the civil rights act? Certainly all of HR and a good chunk of legal, plus the various diversity hires across the company
Jordan Morgan
>55k >$30 an hour >govt. Job is this a ruse? I get paid half of that as head software developer
Jackson Long
These “people” shouldn’t exist. This wouldn’t be a problem if boomers weren’t zionist retards that decided to fill all our nations with shitskins.
Juan Scott
Brazilians are an interesting people. They're either completely based and bro-tier or transsexual favela niggers. No middle ground with them.
Gabriel Turner
I'm a self-employed IT freelancer\small entrepreneur, most of the time my projects involve developing custom systems for local small businesses and foreign clients. I try to stick to real stuff, like automation, data processing, machine learning and all that, not getting into web shit too much, so I'm pretty content.
Jaxson Lee
This. In a call centre, I can't stress how much supervisors should be eliminated from the work hierarchy. They just repeat the shit computers already show.
Kevin Howard
Based. This is ironic in that it shits on people working 14 hour days bussing tables but its just the way things are right now..

The gig economy is just another way for the government to wipe it's hands clear of any industry violations. Governments who allow gig economy enterprise to affect their citizens are both cucks and globalist neolibs sucking America's dirty freedom dick.
Evan Nelson

Lincoln Parker
Jesus fucking Christ, you are too old to post here.
Hell yeah nigga. Obviously results may vary depending on your firms profitability niche and culture. For example we own a portfolio of assets most of which are locked in to lucrative 30+ years contracts that generate escalating monthly income. This shit is auto pilot my nikka might be different if you have some sales figures to hit etc
Matthew James
Congrats on reading a popsci book, midwit.
Daniel Johnson
>if your product is good, it's good, why don't you just write down why and stick it on a piece of paper?? Oh boy, do I have an answer for that. I was hired as a tech expert which gradually became a sales position, without me realizing it for a while. Your products will not sell. You can't ever say a single thing is lacking from it or the customer will jump to something that promises to fix all your problems and your sex life. Can this 3D software make pancakes? It absolutely can, and they come with syrup that never makes them soggy. 99% of the time it isn't smart people who approve purchases. It's their old, out of touch bosses who fear for their coin and pay for lies. Then the smart people have to make those dumb purchases work and the economy keeps flowing. Most people aren't smart or aware. They're not even stupid, they're downright retarded and love shinies that overwhelm them with useless, redundant, but very shiny logos. They'll go for brands with a history of fucking clients over, because 'Hey, those companies have been in business for so long, they must be doing something right.' Companies figured this out and that's why well over 50% of budgets go to marketing in most fields where there isn't a monopoly. You are a minority, my friend.

I do accounting and its county level so it's not that hard it's just having the credentials. Plus union

I work in a brothel club which is an essential service for many Germans, so no.
Jordan Sanchez
>>flunkies >serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants I have an assistant and it is ESSENTIAL. It's like having a pocket calculator. You could do the grunt work yourself, but it helps to have someone else handle it to let you focus on the bigger picture (which is what you're being paid at least three times their salary for).
Also, usually door attendants/elevator attendants double as a form of security. >>goons >act aggressively on behalf of their employers, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists Yeah, fuck people whose only purpose is to pilpul and manipulate >>duct tapers >ameliorate preventable problems, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers whose bags don't arrive Shoddy code is usually not noticed right away until it starts causing problems. When you're writing hundreds of lines of code on a complex process, it can be impossible to test every scenario, and things are usually noticed first by the customer. I also wouldn't even call it shoddy because it is basically expected for there to be some margin of human error. >>box tickers >use paperwork or gestures as a proxy for action, e.g., performance managers, in-house magazine journalists, leisure coordinators Yeah, this is useless, agreed. >>taskmasters >manage—or create extra work for—those who don't need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professionals Middle management are essential. They serve as the project managers and team managers, while the upper managers focus on business direction. It's part of the hierarchical division of labor which is the most efficient model practiced everywhere.
This is a retarded list, user. There are bullshit jobs, but many of the things listed are actually useful.
Xavier Thomas
>I'm a duct taper pretty stoked about my job, little to do with almost 0 oversight means I can be a neet and get paid for it, play games, watch anime and listen to music at work in an empty office so it's on speakers and shit nobody gives a fuck and the pay cheque keep coming
Matthew Ramirez
>tfw Operations Manager Feels good
Jackson Hernandez
He's right. You think automation is going to take over cashier jobs? No. There will be people too stupid to figure out which buttons to press. There will be people who try to talk to the machines, expecting a response.
McJobs are going nowhere.
Cameron Garcia
Spain.
Nolan Evans
>Corporate lawyer Im a goon then. It doesnt feel like a bullshit job to be honest when i see what they do in marketing.
Isaac Perry
A lot of what I do could probably be automated like monitoring machine readouts, though it probably wouldn't to make sure there's as much redundancy as possible. No machine could ever really do some aspects of my job though, and it's not a bullshit job by any stretch of the imagination. t. municipal water treatment
Dominic Jones
no, but it pays nothing
Caleb Foster
I toss boxes and mail into dirty FedEx trucks for $14 an hour working with niggers, spics, and the occasional white person . All of those jobs sound infinitely better
Cooper Martinez
Lol. Most McDonalds stores here are already packed with self service checkouts and like one or two actual human beings. We seem to be able to use them fine.
Gabriel Jenkins
>is meaningful -- how could they not?
Laughed my ass off. Also laughed my ass off at all the niggers ITT bragging about their 'cushy' jobs that give them 30 days off a year and let them leave at 5.
Wow! Your boss lets you own 1/12th of your life per year! Your boss lets you leave at the time that has been standard for half a century! How generous! How enviable! Truly living the high life!
