“Bullshit jobs are not just jobs that are
useless or pernicious; typically, there
has to be some degree of pretense
and fraud involved as well. The
jobholder must feel obliged to
pretend that there is, in fact, a
good reason why her job exists,
even if, privately, she finds such
claims ridiculous.”

I bought the Bullshit Jobs book one or two years ago but I never had the heart to read it. I feared I could no longer go back to work.
I'm retiring in the following year, I will read it then, maybe.
@DGI
Do workers have to identify their own bullshit job for it to be one??? Most advertisers probably think they're awesome even though we're #AdvertisingOurselvesToDeath ...
Bullshit jobs include most of the C suite.
