I've pulled together an article that brings together two very different thinkers talking about issues of relevance to the Prime Minister's reform of the civil service.

If you cannot name your job in one word - maybe 2 if you're lucky, You have a bullshit job. (Ie pilot, cop, engineer, teacher, doctor). Actually typing out "Senior Director of Enterprise Accomplishment Developer Engagement" on LinkedIn is LOL.

Oh, so you're that sort of ignorant.

Every fast food worker.

Every call center worker.

The vast majority of retail employees.

The entire TSA.

A ton of middle managers and c-suite.

Everyone who works with crypto.

Honestly, there are a ton of tertiary service jobs that people would just do themselves if they had the time. (Cleaners, recruiters, travel agents, realtors, "landlords", most restaurants, tax accountants, gym businesses)

Of course, all of this requires actually being capable of envisioning a world where people aren't expected to waste their own time.
