Bullshit Jobs: A Theory是人类学家David Graeber于2018年出版的一本著作，论证了无意义工作的存在及其对社会的危害。他认为社会上超过半数的工作都是毫无意义的，而当这与将工作和自我价值挂钩的职业道德相结合时，便具有心理毁灭性。Graeber描述了五类bullshit jobs，在这些工作中，员工明知其岗位毫无意义或有害，却不得不假装并非如此：flunkies、goons、duct tapers、box tickers和taskmasters。他认为，将劳动与高尚的受苦联系起来在人类历史上只是近期才出现的现象，并且……

作者应该把《瓦尔登湖》换成大卫·格雷伯的《Bullshit Jobs》，这样大概能对这种现象有更好的解释。“在行业里干了 15 年，关于环境咨询顾问到底是干嘛的，我依然给不出一个简明扼要的答案。”这句话……
The author should change Walden for David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" and he would probably get a better explanation of the phenomenon. "After being in the industry for 15 years, I still do not have a good short answer for what environmental consultants do." That quote…
……毫无意义的工作。37% 的人表示自己的工作基本没用，这相当惊人。格雷伯的书很值得一读，有兴趣的可以看我的书评（https://reviewsien.wordpress.com/2018/06/14/bullshit-jobs-a-...）
…pointless jobs. 37% of people say their job is pretty much useless which is remarkable. Graeber's book is worth a read, my review is here for anyone interested ( https://reviewsien.wordpress.com/2018/06/14/bullshit-jobs-a-... )
……一个开发者拿着 10 万美元年薪，并不意味着他们给世界创造了 10 万美元的价值。这只意味着他们成功说服了管理层/HR，让他们一年 365 天出勤 250 天就能拿到 10 万刀。建议去读读大卫·格雷伯的《Bullshit Jobs》:)
…developer being paid $100k doesn't mean they're providing the world with $100k of value. it just means they convinced management/HR to pay them $100k for turning up 250/365 days. I suggest checking out "bullshit jobs" by David Graeber :)
……规模，而是一个相对的概念；如果你年营收 100 万却只有 3 个员工，你可能会觉得该招人了。但要是你年营收做到 10 个亿会发生什么呢？如果你还没读过的话，去读读大卫·格雷伯的《Bullshit Jobs》吧。
…scale but rather a relative one; if you make 1 million in revenue and you only have 3 employees, you might feel like you should hire more. What happens if you start making one billion in revenue? Read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber if you haven't already.
……使用。——我深受各种流程和方法论思想的影响。戴明（Deming）、德鲁克（Drucker）、TPS 等等。还有批判他们的人：波兹曼（Postman）、诺曼（Norman）等，以及最近的大卫·格雷伯。格雷伯关于 bullshit jobs 和官僚主义的观点，既一针见血地点出了我的许多顾虑，也让我为自己曾经的傲慢感到愚蠢。——数据库系统和纸质系统各有优缺点。为当年的自己辩解一句，我们当时……
…use. -- I'm heavily influenced by process and methodology ideas. Deming, Drucker, TPS, etc. As well as their critics. Postman, Norman, etc, and most recently David Graeber. Graeber's notions about bullshit jobs and bureaucracy have articulated many of my misgivings as well as made me feel stupid for my hubris. -- Both database and paper mediated systems have pros and cons. In defense of younger self, we were…
……不信这个的话，去木材厂或者仓库之类的找份工作试试。相关阅读：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/558867.Disciplined_Minds https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34466958-bullshit-jobs
