No, but it's a core part of the Bullshit Jobs theory, that the jobs are obviously bullshit to everyone involved. I would suggest that most jobs that aren't particularly valuable are probably not locally recognised as such (i.e. by the person or by their manager).

(In general I think while plenty of people are familiar with varying levels of pointless effort in their jobs, it's rare that a whole job consists of that, at least as far as the person doing it and the person hiring for it are concerned)
