The expression "bullshit job" was popularized by David Graeber, a leading figure in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement and author of the best-selling "Bullshit Job". According to this American anthropologist, 40% of jobs would be useless and could disappear without making any difference. Worse, the stupid jobs could even prove harmful to the economy and the mental health of those who do them. The expression has now become popular: many books and studies have been devoted to "stupid jobs". Thus, they would pave the way for "boring out" (the boredom experienced at a pathological level at work) and "brown out" (the loss of meaning at work). What are the alternatives and solutions to this scourge?
