There definitely are bullshit jobs. But its super dangerous when charlatans, which in my opinion are far more common, take the "bullshit job" meme and start firing people that actually do important work and creating extremely toxic work environments.

I feel you about the bullshit project you were on. I've been on similar projects and its such a grind. Helps to have a healthy work-life balance.



Well, charlatans can take over any term by misinterpreting. We do not need to get along with their misinterpretation, though.
