    3 people above the fisherman:

    • sales analyst
    • automation technician
    • software engineer

    Fisherman:

    • I operate a decentralized, sustainability-focused aquatic-resource acquisition methodology utilizing precision-guided line-and-lure interface systems to facilitate targeted biomass retrieval.

      I think the meme is saying that if you know your job is bullshit, you obfuscate what you do behind a thick layer of corpospeak.

        Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.

        Ironically the fisherman might actually be worse ethically and ecologically.

          Everyone likes to act like they’re more important than they are.

          And that impulse is borne out of insecurity.

              All it does is convey that the person saying it thinks their job is bullshit and that they’re insecure about it. So they either have impostor syndrome or their job is genuinely bullshit.

      In the OP, all the speech bubbles are answers to “What do you do at your job?” I challenge you to try again with that in mind

        If you ask me what my job is and then you ask for clarification because you don’t know what that job is, those are two separate questions.

        Just because a person does not understand a job does not mean that it’s a BS job. By that logic a cyber security analyst is a BS job. But you would sure as hell would notice if all of them went away.
