Not everyone has a bullshit job. If I stopped working for even a couple of days, people would notice, and I would eventually get fired.

And if you want to divide up the world along a couple of axes into job usefulness and how much the worker cares, then the author of the article was in the “useless job and cared”, while you are in the quadrant of caring and have a useful job best I can tell — which is great. Some people have useless jobs and don’t care much about their job but are happy to get paid. If you for example are a teacher of small children who depend upon you and you basically don’t care then that’s problematic while having a BS job that you care about a lot about is probably mostly an organizational / bad management situation.
