“I write code”
Cum on camera

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

3 people above the fisherman:
- sales analyst
- automation technician
- software engineer
Fisherman:
- I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.
I think the meme is saying that if you know your job is bullshit, you obfuscate what you do behind a thick layer of corpospeak.
Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.
Ironically the fisherman might actually be worse ethically and ecologically.
Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.
And that impulse is borne out of insecurity.
Being aware of the system doesn’t make you immune from the system.
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.
In the OP, all the speech bubbles are answers to “What do you do at your job?” I challenge you to try again with that in mind
“I press buttons”
- “I analyse sales”
- “I automate processes”
- “I create software”
I appease Machine-spirits.
Somehow feels less self-immolating than appeasing billionaire-spirits
They’re the same picture.
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.
I suck dick
Nice to see you here Mr. President.
Ah, it’s nice to meet another fellow customer service rep.
Is this really the message we want to send?
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.
When I first saw this (maybe years ago), it was posted on sites to mock this thinking.
Yeah, someone believes it to have made this. But yeah, that person sucks.
Agreed, but I refuse to extend that acceptance to most consultants.
Yeah I really don’t like the “blue collar good tech bad” undertone here

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.
