Everyone is talking about how AI will eliminate white collar jobs; but what if most of these jobs are actually just bulls*t adult daycare jobs???

This essay about bullsh*t jobs went viral some years ago and led to the author soliciting stories from people who held such jobs in order to write a book:

STRIKE! Magazine – On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber review – the myth of capitalist efficiency | Society books | The Guardian

The entire book can be read online on the Anarchist Library site (and mind you, the leftist author is of the point of view that gubment & NGO jobs or DEI jobs held by minorities or women are never bullsh*t jobs - only corporate jobs are - and no doubt especially if held by white men…) and here is the table of contents:

Preface: On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs
Chapter 1: What Is a Bullshit Job?
why a mafia hit man is not a good example of a bullshit job
on the importance of the subjective element, and also, why it can be assumed that those who believe they have bullshit jobs are generally correct
on the common misconception that bullshit jobs are confined largely to the public sector
why hairdressers are a poor example of a bullshit job
on the difference between partly bullshit jobs, mostly bullshit jobs, and purely and entirely bullshit jobs
Chapter 2: What Sorts of Bullshit Jobs Are There?
the five major varieties of bullshit jobs
1. what flunkies do
2. what goons do
3. what duct tapers do
4. what box tickers do
5. what taskmasters do
on complex multiform bullshit jobs
a word on second-order bullshit jobs
a final note, with a brief return to the question: is it possible to have a bullshit job and not know it?
Chapter 3: Why Do Those in Bullshit Jobs Regularly Report Themselves Unhappy? (On Spiritual Violence, Part 1)
about one young man apparently handed a sinecure who nonetheless found himself unable to handle the situation
concerning the experience of falseness and purposelessness at the core of bullshit jobs, and the importance now felt of conveying the experience of falseness and purposelessness to youth
why many of our fundamental assumptions on human motivation appear to be incorrect
a brief excursus on the history of make-work and particularly of the concept of buying other people’s time
concerning the clash between the morality of time and natural work rhythms, and the resentment it creates
Chapter 4: What Is It Like to Have a Bullshit Job? (On Spiritual Violence, Part 2)
why having a bullshit job is not always necessarily that bad
on the misery of ambiguity and forced pretense
on the misery of not being a cause
on the misery of not feeling entitled to one’s misery
on the misery of knowing that one is doing harm
coda: on the effects of bullshit jobs on human creativity, and on why attempts to assert oneself creatively or politically against pointless employment might be considered a form of spiritual warfare
Chapter 5: Why Are Bullshit Jobs Proliferating?
a brief excursus on causality and the nature of sociological explanation
sundry notes on the role of government in creating and maintaining bullshit jobs
concerning some false explanations for the rise of bullshit jobs
why the financial industry might be considered a paradigm for bullshit job creation
on some ways in which the current form of managerial feudalism resembles classical feudalism, and other ways in which it does not
how managerial feudalism manifests itself in the creative industries through an endless multiplication of intermediary executive ranks
conclusion, with a brief return to the question of three levels of causation
Chapter 6: Why Do We as a Society Not Object to the Growth of Pointless Employment?
on the impossibility of developing an absolute measure of value
how most people in contemporary society do accept the notion of a social value that can be distinguished from economic value, even if it is very difficult to pin down what it is
concerning the inverse relationship between the social value of work and the amount of money one is likely to be paid for it
on the theological roots of our attitudes toward labor
on the origins of the northern european notion of paid labor as necessary to the full formation of an adult human being
how, with the advent of capitalism, work came to be seen in many quarters either as a means of social reform or ultimately as a virtue in its own right, and how laborers countered by embracing the labor theory of value
concerning the key flaw in the labor theory of value as it became popular in the nineteenth century, and how the owners of capital exploited that flaw
how, over the course of the twentieth century, work came to be increasingly valued primarily as a form of discipline and self-sacrifice
Chapter 7: What Are the Political Effects of Bullshit Jobs, and Is There Anything That Can Be Done About This Situation?
on how the political culture under managerial feudalism comes to be maintained by a balance of resentments
how the current crisis over robotization relates to the larger problem of bullshit jobs
on the political ramifications of bullshitization and consequent decline of productivity in the caring sector as it relates to the possibility of a revolt of the caring classes
on universal basic income as an example of a program that might begin to detach work from compensation and put an end to the dilemmas described in this book

The book does not even talk about AI because AI was not around or ~~getting talked about~~ being used as an excuse to fire people with adult daycare bullsh*t jobs when it was written (but there were still plenty of automation tools or tech available to eliminate these jobs)…

However, there is a huge upside to this trend BUT this could also lead to a full-blown violent revolution given who’s jobs get eliminated…:

And that Gab guy/founder is right:

Do you or have you ever held a bullsh*t adult daycare type of job or know other who have?

You know, the kind of job where you do endless zoom/email/meetings all day long where very little seems to get accomplished or at least anything that is measurable? (Unlike working in a factory where you have to produce so many widgets…)

Here is the infamous “a day in my life at Twitter” video (she was laid off by Elon…) that Joe Rogan talked about:

I am seeing patterns with these “jobs”…….:

It used to be that everyone started at the bottom. Now kids study well into adulthood and want to start at the top. Right after college they want to move to a big city, rent a nice house, have an easy job, one of those bs jobs preferably, and earn big money. They are disappointed if they have to start working in a fast food joint, or as a cashier.

Thanks for pointing that out about David Graeber. He was one of those “anarchists” who always wind up with a centrally planned economy. With them in charge, obviously.
