Make websites brrrrr
I suck dicks
Presidential material right here, folks.
I do job, I now also do job that’s a bit like my job, I now also do John’s job,I now also do Jane’s job, I now also do the third party’s job.
I’m a developerI’m a devops technology admin engineer receptionist oh and just now cleaner as wellI 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.
I jack lumber.
I jack off
I code
The requirements said three words, that’s how know you’re a dev and not a PM pretending to be technical.
“I write code”
“Refrigerator Wifi Firmware”
3 words, but my job is still bullshit.
So you’re the guy responsible for ads? Get him everyone!
You’ve been tagged as fridge ads. 🤭
You are the firmware?
Cum on camera
OF is a real job
I load/unload planes
I photograph bones ☠️
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?
I guide people
Why is everyone always annoyed at managers?
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 encourage excellence” - Chef Excellence
Everybody do the flop!
I fix things.
I jerk off.
Almost everybody??
I have a limited number of appointments available. Easy, but not cheap.
3 people above the fisherman:
- sales analyst
- automation technician
- software engineer
Fisherman:
- I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.
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.
Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.
Ironically the fisherman might actually be worse ethically and ecologically.
Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.
And that impulse is borne out of insecurity.
Being aware of the system doesn’t make you immune from the system.
All it does is convey that the person saying it thinks their job is bullshit and that they’re insecure about it. So they either have impostor syndrome or their job is genuinely bullshit.
In the OP, all the speech bubbles are answers to “What do you do at your job?” I challenge you to try again with that in mind
“I press buttons”
- “I analyse sales”
- “I automate processes”
- “I create software”
I appease Machine-spirits.
Somehow feels less self-immolating than appeasing billionaire-spirits
They’re the same picture.
If you ask me what my job is and then you ask for clarification because you don’t know what that job is, those are two separate questions.
Just because a person does not understand a job does not mean that it’s a BS job. By that logic a cyber security analyst is a BS job. But you would sure as hell would notice if all of them went away.
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
