jobalertshopDavid Graeber – Bullshit Jobs
There are millions of people across the world who are toiling away in meaningless, unnecessary jobs, and they know it. Nevertheless they continue going to their work every day, continuing their ‘bullshit jobs’. Why?
The famous anthropologian David Graeber, one of the most radical political thinkers today, explores in his most recent book the phenomenon of ‘bullshit jobs.’ In De Balie he will present labour, capitalism and bureaucracy in a radical new light.
Why do we see a growth of bullshit jobs in a society dominated by a capitalist system that ought to eliminate inefficiency? And what should be done to fight against it?
David Graeber is a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. He is the author of several book such as Debt: the first 5000 years (2011), The Democracy Project (2013) and The Utopia of Rules (2015) and regularly writes for The Guardian. He has been a central figure in the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Over de hele wereld zijn er talloze mensen die dag in dag uit naar hun werk gaan, maar zelf hun baan eigenlijk onnodig vinden. Toch blijven ze doorgaan met, naar eigen zeggen, ‘onzinwerk.’ Waarom?
De beroemde antropoloog David Graeber, een van meest radicale politieke denkers van nu, onderzoekt in zijn nieuwste boek het fenomeen van ‘bullshit jobs’. In De Balie zal hij zijn nieuwe kijk op werk, kapitalisme en bureaucratie presenteren.
Hoe kan het dat er in de huidige samenleving het aantal onzinbanen steeds meer toeneemt terwijl dat haaks staat op de basisprincipes van het Westers kapitalisme zoals efficiëntie en concurrentie? En hoe moeten en kunnen we zinloos werk bestrijden?

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmI am getting bored with saying it but it should be like a eureka moment for anyone who THINKS about it…….just make it financially worthwhile for people to share the jobs we would agree we NEED people to do and work much less….and there would be no more bullshit pointless jobs…it would actually solve most world problems.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmDavid is highly intellectual, the topic is critical detrimental, the mediator is wit, confident and very smart. The lady that suggested rewarding valuable jobs in contrast to BS ones is a solution maker my respect!

Then David Graeber just died so prematurely sighs ~ 💔😓
Just Seent It
March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmA bull shit job can contain the ultimate zinger, in that it's necessary but in the self aggrandizing circle jerk of the npic, take vital time from service delivery to brand marketing to ensure the npic doesn't achieve the goals that would desirably make the jobs obsolete.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmJesus this moderator is making this video very hard to watch. Interrupting, badgering both Graeber and the audience, not letting Graeber get into any kind of flow. She seems to want to prove she is as clever as Graeber by micromanaging the event. I would walk out if I were treated like this.
BaddestFoxy
March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmThe moderator is so annoying, has been interrupting when David Graeber was still saying something important and hasen’t allowed him to finnish mant interesting points. As for David, I just hope many more learn about him and reethink how society should go!

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmso the moderator's job is to read aloud some questions, and ask people to voice their questions. classic box ticker.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmI’m a member of the underclasses who is just trying survive(me and my 3 kids) so forgive me if my heart doesn’t break for the people with bs jobs who have to suffer under the infinite weight of meaningless work and by extension meaningless lives. I’m aware of the blessing of my lot in life. My life is very meaningful. More valuable and meaningful than any of the middle classes I would venture to guess. It’s only the 1% who have everything to lose, and the desperate poverty stricken who have nothing left to lose, who have the most motivated, driven, meaning-full existences. Bully for me!! LMFAO!!!🤣😂😃

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmThe presenter is insufferable. Graeber had so much knowledge to share and questions to answer. She interrupted but contributed nothing. The worst.
Rest in Power, DG.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmMy company are the heavy weight champions of creating BS jobs.
They had a whole planning team telling front line drivers on how to get thier jobs (um we had satnavs and would actively plan our own routes) but we were still made to call them or we would get reported to management. Anyway long story short they came up with new navigation software that increased the size of the team(we told them that this software was pointless and wouldn't work) 2 Years later they gave up on the new system that didn't work and made the whole team redundan( they were paid more than us by the way lol) the only change we noticed was that we didn't have to make a bs phone call to be told to do something we already done.
However one golden child was saved and has been given the glorious title of planning specialist(basically he hands us emergencies now and again when call centre are busy lol a manager recently admitted that new job was pointless and a waste of money but he can't say anything due to politics.
The upper management team consistently make up new titles or job roles for themselves. We joke about this daily.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmJobs are not about what you want to do, it is about making money. Of course, most likely you do not want to do that job, THAT IS WHY YOU ARE GETTING PAY FOR IT!!
D Cabral
March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmPeople simply should not get upset about it. If you ask a construction worker who is doing back-breaking work if he is willing to trade his position to have less responsibility, less work, while making more money, he or she will NOT say NO!
D Cabral
March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmBullshit jobs or not, we all need to eat, we all need to pay bills.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmThe moderator has an unlikable vibe and shows no respect to Dr. Graeber. Plus she likes to call out individual audience on, "who said that," regarding the computer-generated surveys. Dude, give the audience anonymity, don't call them and ask "who said that." While you are at it, why not ask them for their social security number too. No respect.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmIk ben Nederlands en ik vind mijn medelanders over het algemeen prettig. Maar de gewoonte van een kleine minderheid van de Nederlanders om anderen steeds te interrumperen of zelfs -zoals in dit geval – interviews te willen domineren (haar microfoon staat zelfs harder dan van alle anderen / of ze praat gewoon een stuk harder) is erg storend. Ik loop hiermee het risico een ander Nederlands stereotype te bevestigen met mijn wijzende vingertje, waarvoor excuus. Maar voor een volgende keer kun je als interviewen beter minder aan het woord zijn. Dan kunnen de mensen meer leren van de mensen die worden geïnterviewd.

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmIt’s a good interviewer to be honest

March 11, 2023 - 7:00 pmI think bull shit jobs exist because of the 'contractual' side of capitalism. Not the property side.
A coffee pot obiting "program analyst consultant" job in the government exists because whoever controls the budget for the agency probably needed to fill a quota to get more money.
How do you fix bullshit jobs? You go where the money is as usual.
