Nice to see you here Mr. President.
So I either have a bullshit job “I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks” or a real job “I herd electrons”…
You do math.
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.
Agreed, but I refuse to extend that acceptance to most consultants.

Yeah as if farmers aren’t using gps guidance climate models soil analysis and gmo/selection etc to try and eke out some profit vs the megacorps.
I’m pretty sure that it was definitely not made by anyone who’s a fisher.
This comic looks like it was drawn by the fisherman.

Can confirm this works, since fullstack is a real job, but I can’t describe my frontend bullshit in 3 words.
try “I break interfaces”
People still prefer our crap over curl for some reason 🤣
“I hate it”. Does this count?

You just successfully described 95% of modern office jobs
My job is bullshit, but my job is not who I am.
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.
