I write code. ✔️ Real job.

I chop down trees. ❌ Bullshit job.

I fell trees!

you can use "fell" as a transitive verb. it's a little archaic but sounds cozy.

Is this a war on being specific?

If a fisherman says "I operate the winch on a bowpicker tuna fishing boat", is that a bullshit job?

If a middle-management yes-man who exists only to fluff his boss' ego describes his job as "I encourage excellence" does that mean his job is no longer bullshit?

[–] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guide people

Why is everyone always annoyed at managers?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

A lot of managers are pretty useless. Some degree of management is needed because you can't just have 10,000 individual contributors all reporting directly to the CEO. But, a lot of managers get where they are by schmoozing, claiming credit, shifting blame, avoiding responsibility, etc.

I think the meme is saying that if you know your job is bullshit, you obfuscate what you do behind a thick layer of corpospeak.

We need to lower standards. Really. To something like "if your job makes other people worse, it's bullshit work". A lot of good people do stupid job just to put food on the table

Is this really the message we want to send?

Yes, our society makes lots of bullshit jobs. That's because capitalism can only keep people employed by creating bullshit jobs, and unemployed people are six missed meals away from revolution. That is not the fault of the people who have bullshit jobs.

And no, I won't accept "this is just a shitposting sub, lighten up" as a response. This is just another form of kicking down, and it isn't funny. The working class needs solidarity, not this.
