[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My job has become one under new management I've had in the last year (new in each of the 3 layers above me).
Mine used to be a role of strategy and of innovation in terms of how we could work better internally and/or meeting emerging market needs. But now, since new management was given New Product X to roll out, all I do is grunt work because my boss and the boss above are very poor at actually managing, prioritizing, delegating/empowering, focusing on the big picture.

Result is that I'm assigned either to scramble to put out some 'fire' that really is not that urgent, or to deliver something related to New Product X that is taking excruciatingly long to get management feedback for me to finalize. I have nothing truly meaningful to show on my yearly review, after a year working for them. It is frustrating as I've been trying to continue working on the new solutions but get reprimanded for not doing the grunt work.[/quote]
^^PP here, and it occurs to me that I consider it a meaningless job...but on the other hand maybe you meant by "BS job" that one can get away with really delivering nothing of value. In my case my manager really cares about me delivering certain things, and is micromanaging about it, but I know that these things are pointless and of minimal value.[/quote]
Yes,"BS job" adds no value to society.If it disappeared as profession nobody will miss it.[/quote]
