[ BS Jobs ]

David Graeber published a book in 2018 with the catchy title: “BS Jobs – the rise of pointless work and what we can do about it”.  It is a compelling philosophy.

Summarising it is fraught, but the overarching accusation is that there are a lot of senior jobs that are extraneous.

I postulated quietly in April 2020 that perhaps the working from home phenomenon would expose the BS jobs – because in this environment, extraneous roles would be more obvious.

Alas, it seems that has not been the case.  Some are ‘busier than ever’.  And there are still BS roles in place.
