"At the very point when work seemed to be withering away, we all became obsessed with it. To be a good citizen, you need to be a productive citizen. There is only one problem, of course: there is less than ever that actually needs to be produced. (...) The answer has come in the form of (...) 'bullshit jobs'. (...) But people working in bullshit jobs need to do something. And that something is usually the production, distribution and consumption of bullshit. (...) What we need is an anti-bullshit movement. It would be made up of people from all walks of life who are dedicated to rooting out empty language. It would question management twaddle in government, in popular culture, in the private sector, in education and in our private lives" (aqui)
