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.
##从作者人类学的视角,我们的工作都可以归为他总结的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters,bullshit jobs, 但青年马克思那个对劳动的变异反而更启发人。当下教育的问题是把工作跟赚钱划等号了,其实人对劳动有本能的需求,人需要通过劳动来创造,产出更丰富的生命意义。变异后的works,成了jobs,一条通往奴役之路。跳着读的,最后两章没看,对我们普通人来说,积极心理学那个视角能解决这个问题。读此书启发最大是古人类男耕女织的工作分配,已经慢慢把bullshit jobs分给女性,更体现创造力的工作由男性掌握,当下男女职场结构的开端。要是作者体会过简中世界的公务员体系的运转后,大概会对人类更失望吧。
评分##两章弃,读之前应该查下豆瓣评分,cynical 的闲聊硬生生撑出一本书,bullshit 本shit 了。
评分##人类社会还真是围城。世界上有六分之一的人吃不饱,还有人为了自己的(高薪)工作没有意义而烦恼。
评分##两年前断断续续读过,没有格雷伯其他著作那么引人入胜。但今年疫情期间也显露出他的洞见一点都没有夸张。也是本来想打四星,翻完短评报复性打五星,何况是今天得知他离世的消息,哭。
评分##我重点看了一章对bullshit job的分类,发现自己落入了taskmaster
评分##狗屁工作的滋生蔓延固然和金融资本大,跃、进有关,工作被道德性和政;治性所统摄。有一点必须要强调的是,狗屁工作以一种隐蔽的方式把人们放回到从属关系中,同时重新赋予权/;力。比如大学里的许多行政人员,不正是拿着鸡毛当令箭地对老师和学生吆五喝六各种刁难。固然现在人们“解/,放”了,不用给人当奴、:才了,但人们又成了资本和工作的nu ,隶,可怕的是很多时候你都不知道要推-,翻谁。
评分##这种书真的水分太多了,就像短评说的,一篇文章能搞定的事硬生生注水成一本书,还是三百多页的书。耶鲁和LSE的教授就这个水平吗?
评分##This should be written into a 2 minute joke in a stand-up show in stead of a fucking book
评分##两章弃,读之前应该查下豆瓣评分,cynical 的闲聊硬生生撑出一本书,bullshit 本shit 了。
