Comment on If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense?

The motivations of the company are often very different to the motivations of senior staff within the company.
Mid-level manager is obsessed with building his empire within the company. The bigger their division, the happier they are.
Mid-level manager creates bullshit jobs and justifies them up the chain. "Our team is vital to the company and my staff is swamped. I need to increase my headcount".

That's fine. That's my point though. The intentions are entirely different. I don't think any company is actively worried about ensuring people are employed. The end result of a bunch of other motivations may be the same, but my statement is about the why.
