I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.
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.
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.
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.

Couldn't be further from reality. Capitalist firms actively hire the least amount of people possible, because if they can get away with equal production and lower number of employees, that means higher profit.
Capitalism is actually the only system in human history with unemployment: it wasn't a thing in hunter-gatherer society, it wasn't a thing in early agricultural societies, it wasn't a thing during the times of slavery, it wasn't a thing during feudalism, and it hasn't been a thing in any communist nation such as Cuba or the USSR (both guaranteeing jobs to every citizen as a right, and the latter having 10% of all positions vacant from 1970 onward).
Capitalism maintains an unemployed sector of the population because:
Employing more workers costs more money to firms
Having high unemployment decreases wages, improving profits of firms
Having a pool of unemployed people allows firms to spawn, grow and mutate without difficulty of finding workers to do so.
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?
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.
Extreme physical danger of drowning, hypothermia, severe injury, insane hours, unpredictable income, huge mental and emotional stress in an industry that often damages the environment and is plagued with human rights abuses?
This comic feels like it was written by the fisherman.

I am an aquatic resource acquisition specialist leveraging distributed ecosystem monitoring, real-time biological signal analytics, and manual-mechanical retrieval interfaces to optimize biomass extraction.
Maybe they should leak the tech so that everyone's missiles can be more accurate and have less collateral damage. Giving missile targeting systems to, say, Al Qaida is ethical, actually? 🤔
I don't make the targeting systems. I make the carbon fiberhousing for the targeting systems. Deep blue collar job in the bluest collar town you can imagine.
I get disability benefit trapping me in dependence on the system under threat of impoverishment, destitution, starvation, freezing, if i dare ever attempt to do anything productive, or even look like it, or even not. Paid to do nothing.
Same. I don’t work because I like my stupid ass job. I work because I like everything outside my job and some of these things are in dire need of being financed.
Saying "I catch fish" is as descriptive as the first guy saying "sales analyst". Second person is a software developer, third guy is a systems architect. So you catch fish? Sure. What kind? On a river? In the ocean? Do you really just press a button that rolls up a big net full of turtles and dolphins as well and you're destroying the delicate balance of a fragile ecosystem? Are you a fishing guide?
Anyone can describe their job in three words. Understanding it is on you, man.
The whole concept is more akin to whether or not you are working directly with the material fruits of your labor, or if you're some secondary or tertiary job to the actual work being done.
Basically, their view is that if you are not directly making the product or apart of the physical logistics for that product, then you're in a bullshit job. I would not say I agree with the philosophy myself, but i kind of get it. 'I farm Corn', 'I Truck frozen food', and 'I catch fish', do exist in a very different realm from 'I manage a team of QA specialists', 'I am an Advertisement Consultant', and 'I contribute to my company's server backend codebase'.
The problem, to me, is that not everyone on a boat is catching fish. There are plenty of different roles. It's just that people outside the industry don't have a concept of the nuanced differences between roles, so it gets simplified to "I catch fish" even if they aren't involved in catching fish at all. Most people outside of tech have no idea between the different roles that exist in tech either. It wasn't too long ago where no matter your role in tech, you'd tell laymen, "I work in IT" as a catchall for any technical role
Oh, I think it checks out. Maybe it should be "fly to space" or "fly rocket ships", but the point of the job is the trip. Unless -- hmm. Did explorers of yesteryear have BS jobs, too?
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
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 developer I'm a devops technology admin engineer receptionist oh and just now cleaner as well
Also I don't. I am not a funeral director and the cemetery does that. I do paperwork, make cards and signs, pay bills, move bodies and make sure they are where they are supposed to be.
Though I don't agree with that person's definition of "bullshit job". Read Bullshit Jobs (the book) if you haven't, the website has all or most of its contents.

Hmm, that actually sounds like you run body disposal for organized crime.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 255d
Also I don't. I am not a funeral director and the cemetery does that. I do paperwork, make cards and signs, pay bills, move bodies and make sure they are where they are supposed to be.

If someone is willing to pay you enough to live for a bullshit job, is it really a bullshit job?
rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 2 pts · 255d
Yes.
Though I don't agree with that person's definition of "bullshit job". Read Bullshit Jobs (the book) if you haven't, the website has all or most of its contents.
ICastFist@programming.dev · 1 pts · 255d
That makes it even more bullshit because the person paying knows it's bullshit.
