Samenvatting

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

*By reading this summary, you will discover what "dumb jobs" are and their consequences on workers and the labour market.

*You will also discover : how to recognize a stupid job; the consequences that these jobs have on those who do them; what their origin is and why they seem to multiply; what are the alternatives and solutions if you have such a job.

*The expression "bullshit job" was popularized by David Graeber, a leading figure in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement and author of the best-selling "Bullshit Job". According to this American anthropologist, 40% of jobs would be useless and could disappear without making any difference. Worse, the stupid jobs could even prove harmful to the economy and the mental health of those who do them. The expression has now become popular: many books and studies have been devoted to "stupid jobs". Thus, they would pave the way for "boring out" (the boredom experienced at a pathological level at work) and "brown out" (the loss of meaning at work). What are the alternatives and solutions to this scourge?
