David had recently written a bestselling book, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory. Bullshit jobs were “jobs that are primarily or entirely made up of tasks that the person doing that job considers to be pointless, unnecessary, or even pernicious.” These people deserve chickenshit jobs – modestly paying, undemanding, part-time jobs with benefits. The alternative is bullshit jobs, which would pay more but kill the creative spark and leave them exhausted and miserable. Gig employers and temporary agencies have vacuumed up millions of part-time jobs and turned them into full-time, low-pay, no-benefits, no-security bullshit jobs.
