3 words, but my job is still bullshit.
So you're the guy responsible for ads? Get him everyone!
I Beer Lego
I fix/break things.
I jerk off.
I write code. ✔️ Real job.
I chop down trees. ❌ Bullshit job.
I jack lumber.
i design graphics
I break software
I make babies.
I like Turtles.
I heal people
I do nothing
✅ Real job
I build PCs
Acronyms don't count, otherwise the two bullshit job dudes could just say "I'm an SFSA" and "I create BDRSs".
Is this a war on being specific?
If a fisherman says "I operate the winch on a bowpicker tuna fishing boat", is that a bullshit job?
If a middle-management yes-man who exists only to fluff his boss' ego describes his job as "I encourage excellence" does that mean his job is no longer bullshit?
"I encourage excellence" - Chef Excellence
I help people.
Cool, I have a real job.

Finding better microbes
Audio Visual! My job is so much fun!
I fix equipment
grocery in bag

study and cry
3 people above the fisherman:
- sales analyst
- automation technician
- software engineer
Fisherman:
- I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.
I think the meme is saying that if you know your job is bullshit, you obfuscate what you do behind a thick layer of corpospeak.
Everyone likes to act like they're more important than they are.
Ironically the fisherman might actually be worse ethically and ecologically.
Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.
And that impulse is borne out of insecurity.
Being aware of the system doesn't make you immune from the system.
All it does is convey that the person saying it thinks their job is bullshit and that they're insecure about it. So they either have impostor syndrome or their job is genuinely bullshit.

I move files
Everything is a file
I draw lines
Can you draw three lines perpendicular to each other?
Yes, easily
Heck yea, it's computer aided and shit
You draw lines? I draw lines, too!
So I either have a bullshit job "I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks" or a real job "I herd electrons"...
