@redsad I realise it's not the point, but I never understood why the CEO deserved any respect just because he's a CEO.
Same applies to cops and soldiers.
Fuck those guys.

@NickSchwanck @redsad Actually I think that is the point. A janitor does lots of immediately useful things while having little power.

I have heard it said that a good indicator of someone's status within a work hierarchy is how long it takes before someone can be away before they are missed. For a janitor, hours at most.

BTW this dialogue is a classic. Saw it first during Trump I.

@martinvermeer @NickSchwanck @redsad There is an anecdote I think Graeber shared in the book Bullshit Jobs: A manager never took a single day off, not even on the most important Jewish holidays. When asked he said he has two fears: Without him nothing might work and it's total chaos, the other fear is everything is normal, no one even notices he's gone and he's therefore not really needed at all.
