read it? is it worth a read?
it doesn’t seem to mention the two most obvious types
-
agents - people whose only job is intermediating, forwarding emails between a business and a customer, but not letting then talk directly. like employment agents who won’t reveal the name of the company, because they know you could just talk to each other directly: the agent knows he is useless.
-
police, military, bouncers - people who spend 99% of their time doing nothing, standing around on street corners. when they do anything, it is only to fight, beat or kill normal working/productive people.
that probably applies to all his categories. lobbyists can be valuable too. like the local cycling advocate group who every year meets the local council and tries to explain how to fix the godforsaken road network.
tbh there are special circumstances where even agents and soldiers can have a valuable pace in society. **" i had no idea what community managers are. thanks for explaining. i guess there are bad/useless ones too? maybe in other industries the vast majority are useless. I’ll have to read the book.
