First one: i analyse sales.

Second one: i automate production

Third one: i'm a fucking idiot

I write code

(It's still a bullshit job)

I make programs

3 people above the fisherman:

• sales analyst
• automation technician
• software engineer

Fisherman:

• I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.

I suck dick

Is this really the message we want to send?

Yes, our society makes lots of bullshit jobs. That's because capitalism can only keep people employed by creating bullshit jobs, and unemployed people are six missed meals away from revolution. That is not the fault of the people who have bullshit jobs.

And no, I won't accept "this is just a shitposting sub, lighten up" as a response. This is just another form of kicking down, and it isn't funny. The working class needs solidarity, not this.

Is this a war on being specific?

If a fisherman says "I operate the winch on a bowpicker tuna fishing boat", is that a bullshit job?

If a middle-management yes-man who exists only to fluff his boss' ego describes his job as "I encourage excellence" does that mean his job is no longer bullshit?

So I either have a bullshit job "I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks" or a real job "I herd electrons"...

I write code. ✔️ Real job.

I chop down trees. ❌ Bullshit job.

Extreme physical danger of drowning, hypothermia, severe injury, insane hours, unpredictable income, huge mental and emotional stress in an industry that often damages the environment and is plagued with human rights abuses?

This comic feels like it was written by the fisherman.

I am an aquatic resource acquisition specialist leveraging distributed ecosystem monitoring, real-time biological signal analytics, and manual-mechanical retrieval interfaces to optimize biomass extraction.

I fix shit

"I hate it". Does this count?

i make websites

Emails and meetings

"Refrigerator Wifi Firmware"

3 words, but my job is still bullshit.

I make art.

^ real job.

I get disability benefit trapping me in dependence on the system under threat of impoverishment, destitution, starvation, freezing, if i dare ever attempt to do anything productive, or even look like it, or even not. Paid to do nothing.

^ real bullshit job.

Oh what a great system you have there. >:[

Make missiles hit.

I code

My job is bullshit, but my job is not who I am.

I know it is a shitpost but this fucking fisherman that kills animals and destroys our environment. He is the worst. Fuck you fisherman!

Generate shareholder value

"Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems."

Refreshments and Narcotics

(an old joke about registered nurses)

I jerk off.
