If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense? - eviltoast

Businesses are in it for the money, employees tend to be one of the larger expenses, so maintaining some bullshit positions that would cost them money doesn’t make fiscal sense, so what’s up?

    So, she did do something, just not her specific job duty because she got fired after 6 months for a TikTok video. She was doing a bunch of training and was told to learn how things are done at Meta. At a large company, I would not expect a new hire to do much of anything for the first few months as they learned the ropes of how things worked. The more forward facing, theonger I’d expect. Hiring people? That’s forward facing. You’re choosing who to spend money on. Developers? Customers see the application. I wouldn’t let them touch anything significant for a bit. I’m sure it applies to other areas as well.
