@mapto@masto.bg actually in this article Bogost gives a definition of #bulshitJob that I find to be better than Graeber's. It's not so much about the job being meaningless, as about the detachment of the employee from it. Ultimately if one doesn't understand the meaning of a job, they do not understand why and how to do it. This is unrelated to whether the job has a meaning as perceived by someone else:
"For some time now, workers—and especially young ones—have become ever more detached from their work lives. David Graeber called the roles they end up taking for lack of any better option “bullshit jobs.” Internet culture has more recently nicknamed them “email jobs”: work whose purpose is so cryptic, its effort detaches from motivations and outcomes, personal or professional. The Millennials who graduated into the Great Recession talked about LARPing their own jobs in order to reconcile this divide. Cheating on a job interview with AI feels like a realization of that vision: You are no longer a job candidate, but a person playing the role of one."
