The book "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory" is a book written in 2018 by anthropologist David Graeber, which postulates the existence of meaningless jobs and analyzes their social harm. The author believes that more than half of social work is useless and psychologically destructive. Graber describes five types of meaningless jobs, the most important of which is the clerical job.
In his book Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, American anthropologist David Graeber argues that the productivity benefits of automation have not led to 15-hour work weeks, as economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930, but to "Bullshit Jobs" have resulted in: "a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or harmful that even the employee cannot justify its existence, even if, as part of the terms of employment, the employee is obligated to pretend That is not the case." Graber believes that with good compensation and plenty of free time, the meaninglessness of their work haunts their humanity and creates "deep psychological violence."
