Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. When Work Becomes PerformanceIn 2018, David Graeber gave language to a suspicion millions of workers had carried in silence: that much of modern work is not merely boring or badly managed, but fundamentally meaningless.But the workplace has changed again.Remote work has moved the office into the home. Digital platforms have transformed presence into performance. Dashboards, meetings, ratings, and productivity tools generate constant evidence that work is taking place. Artificial intelligence can now produce reports, presentations, evaluations, and strategies faster than anyone can ask whether they are needed.The modern problem is no longer only that some jobs are pointless.Pointlessness itself has become a system.Post-Bullshit Jobs: Essential Edition is an independent critical essay written in dialogue with Graeber's insight. Reorganised and rewritten as a complete work in its own right, it offers the clearest and most accessible route through the world of post-bullshit work.Karl Douglas examines how organisations confuse: - visibility with value;- measurement with judgment;- communication with understanding;- autonomy with obedience;- activity with contribution.The book explores digital presenteeism, dashboards, managerial double binds, professional conditioning, burn-out, bore-out, brown-out, outsourcing, greenwashing, corporate storytelling, consultancy, algorithmic management, and the automation of organisational absurdity.But this is not only a diagnosis.The final part asks what useful work actually looks like - and why care, repair, teaching, maintenance, food, logistics, public service, and practical knowledge are so often undervalued.It also examines refusal, shorter working time, economic autonomy, cooperatives, commons, local production, and the possibility of building a life whose value is not determined entirely by employment.The Essential Edition concludes with A Short Reality Check for Work: ten practical questions for distinguishing meaningful contribution from the mere performance of productivity.For anyone who has ever: - left a meeting wondering what was accomplished;- completed a report no one seemed to need;- carried responsibility without real authority;- or suspected that professional performance had begun to replace meaningful contribution.Work should not be judged by how busy it appears.It should be judged by what it helps keep alive.
