The theory that many people feel the work they do is pointless because their jobs are "bullshit" has been confirmed by a new study.

Nice to see more empirical backing of the Bullshit Jobs theory graeber

The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.

The study, by Simon Walo, of Zurich University, Switzerland, is the first to give quantitative support to a theory put forward by the American anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that many jobs were "bullshit"—socially useless and meaningless.

      Considering google and meta are advertising companies, the meaning is a net negative.
