From bestselling writer David Graeber, a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs, and their consequences.
Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After a million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.
There are millions of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs.
Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation.
##從作者人類學的視角,我們的工作都可以歸為他總結的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters,bullshit jobs, 但青年馬剋思那個對勞動的變異反而更啓發人。當下教育的問題是把工作跟賺錢劃等號瞭,其實人對勞動有本能的需求,人需要通過勞動來創造,産齣更豐富的生命意義。變異後的works,成瞭jobs,一條通往奴役之路。跳著讀的,最後兩章沒看,對我們普通人來說,積極心理學那個視角能解決這個問題。讀此書啓發最大是古人類男耕女織的工作分配,已經慢慢把bullshit jobs分給女性,更體現創造力的工作由男性掌握,當下男女職場結構的開端。要是作者體會過簡中世界的公務員體係的運轉後,大概會對人類更失望吧。
評分##噱頭大於內容,完全不用寫一本書。
評分##身為人類學傢的作者的這個想法很有趣,時不時毒舌腹黑一下,也能給人一點對自身和現代社會的思考,還真的是一個段子就能說明的事硬是被寫成瞭一本書可見多囉嗦。????
評分##人類社會還真是圍城。世界上有六分之一的人吃不飽,還有人為瞭自己的(高薪)工作沒有意義而煩惱。

評分##我重點看瞭一章對bullshit job的分類,發現自己落入瞭taskmaster
評分##This should be written into a 2 minute joke in a stand-up show in stead of a fucking book
評分##這本書能火的原因,大概在於,作者抓住瞭大多數人都不喜歡自己工作的心理,為大傢找到瞭一個情緒宣泄的齣口;然而難以忽略的是,這本書無論是對現象的觀察,原因的陳述,還是解決方案的倡議,都站不住腳。書中唯一的一個有意思的地方,自己之前也觀察到卻難以解釋的:越是對社會有貢獻的工作,比如護士、老師、清潔工、消防員等工資越低,而那些對社會沒有太大貢獻,甚至帶來傷害的工作,比如銀行傢、營銷人員、說客等等,工資反而高。
