You're misunderstanding the term "bullshit job" (originally from the late David Graeber [0]) which has a specific meaning and has nothing to do with

Or even
> If you wake up thinking "Oh fuck, I need to work", yeah then that's a bullshit job for sure.
Instead, it refers to employment that is "so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence". Prototypical example is the layers upon layers of superfluous middle management.
