Bullshit Jobs:
In the early twentieth century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased.

My F*cking Job Sucks:
When’s the last time you said, “I can’t wait to go to work tomorrow”? While it’s not an unheard-of sentiment, workplace TikToks and memes would have you believe that not very many workers love their jobs. Still, it’s a universal truth that most people have to work to earn a living. That means the average person spends about one-third of their life on the job.
