The five major varieties of bullshit jobs

No typology is perfect, and I am sure there are many ways one could draw the lines, each revealing its own way 〔ref〕, but over the course of my research, I have found it useful to break down the type of bullshit job into ctegories. I will call these:

  1. flunkies

  2. goons

    1. duct tapers

  3. box tickers

  4. taskmasters

Let us consider each in turn.
