“Lazy Girl Jobs” Is A Dumb, Lazy Meme (That’s Also Perfectly Logical)

We create too many bullshit business concepts.

We love to create bullshit memes and trends and concepts around work, probably because (a) some journalists need to hit deadlines, (b) TikTok is fun I suppose, and © we spend a lot of time at work, so why not opine on it with funny videos, right?

The new one is “lazy girl jobs.” I guess these are jobs you can do and be lazy, like take a nap or watch three episodes of a Netflix/Hulu show in the middle of them.

This is a stupid and lazy meme, and it probably doesn’t need to involve a specific gender. I thought we were into the narrative of “women are doing better than men and men are collapsing,” and yet now we’re attaching the “lazy” TikTok meme to “girls?” What about “lazy boy jobs?” Honestly, a bunch of high-comp jobs in finance are pretty lazy, or while you spend a lot of hours at the office, you’re thumbing social media half the time, because you’re beholden to when the rich guy you’re trying to make richer is available.
