I get the usage as a dig at do nothing office jobs, but what are these jobs really? I’ve never worked in an office or known anyone who did well enough to ask.
So what are these jobs actually like? How do they exist in the first place? Could I lie my way into getting one lol?
These jobs are largely just people “knowing” what a bunch of other people are doing so they can coordinate the labor between all of them and is specialized paperwork/administrative/inter-team communications labor so that the other types of specialized labor (factory, accounting, engineering, etc.) dont have to spend time on it
You could definitely lie your way into one if you learn all the lingo, and look/speak/act like a typical corporate drone
These jobs are ridiculed cause the most important aspects are generally just acting professional, understand classist jargon, and being prompt with responding to emails/messages.
Versus other bullshit office jobs that actually require knowledge or skills like accounting, HR, legal, finance etc.
