Businesses are in it for the money, employees tend to be one of the larger expenses, so maintaining some bullshit positions that would cost them money doesn’t make fiscal sense, so what’s up?

if you go by david graeber’s bullshit jobs, some of these are some sort of status symbol, some are made up to diffuse responsibility, there were more that i don’t remember. at any rate bullshit job is labeled as such by a worker

Yeah and hopefully we can get rid of them. I mean the way how we work and what we do change quite fast. 20 years ago there were secretaries taking notes (last time I saw someone listening to a tape recorder and typing down the notes was around 2017, for soon to retire doctor) and calling up people because the boss needed info (etc. etc.) Now even emails start to look has-been. Guess people get stuck sometimes in no-need land.
Maybe those jobs are just the sand in the engine and will be flushed out some day.
Problem comes when those jobs get flushed away, and more and more people end up without decent job prospects while wealth keeps trickling up.
Well yeah cue basic income or something along those lines…
