I would be expect the result to be zero because companies respond to financial incentives, not cultural "movements". Do you really think driving to an office will stop this?


One of the things I absolutely love about my current job is not having to use agile. I didn't realize what a massive waste of time it was at my last two jobs because I'd never experienced not having to use it. If I switch jobs in the future, I'll definitely try and push management/product to try not using it.


So a quote from a movie is your counterargument?


It's not a counter-argument, it's an example of the attitude of criminals (based on the movie written about a criminal).


Well that's a stretch. The original quote says it's linked to the _trafficking_ of drugs, not just drug use. If this is the only link, they're being intentionally misleading.


So many non-lawyers giving legal advice in this thread...


Does the average non-lawyer know when they're obligated to answer the police? I don't think I do.


Is there a typo in here? Your first comment contradicts your second.


How does that description necessarily not meet that definition? The UP said nothing about whether the person in the job is obligated to pretend that the job is important.

Plus everyone is giving slightly different definitions of a bullshit job. It smells of a Motte and bailey fallacy.


I think a lot of times it is. Either that or they want a sugar daddy.


Can science even prove such as thing? Saying "there is no self" doesn't seem like a scientific claim to me. It seems more like a philosophical question. The fact that scientists don't agree on a particular center of the brain which corresponds to a "self function" doesn't mean that science "proves" the self doesn't exist.
