Inspired by the late anthropologist David Graeber’s book Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, I explore the rise of meaningless work in today’s economy. Starting with the story of how my own views on my finance consulting job shifted. Graeber defined a bullshit job as paid employment so pointless that even the worker secretly believes it shouldn’t exist — yet feels obliged to pretend otherwise. From endless PowerPoints and corporate jargon to the growth of entire sectors dedicated to subcontracting, compliance, and image management, I examine how neoliberal capitalism has created a vast landscape of “fluff jobs” that erode our sense of agency and damage our mental health. Drawing on Graeber’s categories — from “flunkies” to “goons,” “box-tickers” to “duct-tapers” — I trace how these jobs proliferate under financialisation, why they persist despite their obvious waste, and how they reflect a deep inversion of value in our economy: the more socially necessary the work, the less it is paid.
