On: The bullshit-jobs thesis may be bullshit

> Companies are ruthless about cutting fat. They have departments dedicated to isolating unnecessary employees and firing them.

That depends on the company. How about the 'growth engines' whose primary goal is to be acquired? I don't think these claims work in a world where the axiom 'the goal of a company is to make more money than it spends' is broken.

That's an interesting case and I think those jobs are likely to be legitimately bullshit.
