In this episode, Simon Walo , postdoc at the University of Zurich, talks to host Marc Dennler from HR Campus about the provocative concept of bullshi*t jobs. Simon explains how such jobs are defined and shares exciting findings from his research. A study from the USA shows that around 20% of employees feel their job is useless. But what is behind this feeling?
The episode sheds light on differences between professional fields and also takes a closer look at HR. Simon also refers to David Graeber's book and discusses the idea of an unconditional basic income with Marc - an approach that is highly polarising and triggers heated debates.
