    Probably quite a few, but don’t let the fact they’re bullshit jobs fool you into thinking they don’t matter. The middle manager making $100K a year is spending that money on food, clothing, and other items that are produced by people who don’t have bullshit jobs.

      Good middle management keeps things running in the background for the people that don’t have bullshit jobs. With businesses overvaluing middle management and making it a career path to move up to, there are way too many middle management positions which is why most of them are bullshit.

      You’re right. These bullshit jobs kinda need to exist as people need to eat, and that’s difficult without a steady income. We really do need to start talking seriously about a UBI.
