- Book 3 of 3: The Post-Bullshit Work Series
Your working day is full. But what did it actually achieve?
You attend meetings, update dashboards, answer messages, prepare reports, and demonstrate progress. You are constantly active—yet increasingly unable to explain who benefits from what you produce.
Is the work genuinely useful, merely badly organised, or fundamentally empty?
This is not another productivity book.
The Post-Bullshit Toolkit will not teach you how to complete meaningless tasks faster. It is a practical guide for recognising empty work, protecting your judgement, and deciding what to do next—without impulsively resigning or destroying your financial security.
Building on the questions opened by David Graeber, this independent practical volume moves from diagnosis to action.
Inside, you will learn how to:
• distinguish difficult work from performative or empty work;
• measure your exposure with the Emptiness Index;
• identify recurring workplace archetypes and organisational red flags;
• translate vague corporate language into concrete meaning;
• reduce unnecessary meetings, metrics, dashboards, and rituals;
• establish professional boundaries without creating avoidable conflict;
• decide whether to stay, repair, negotiate, or prepare to leave;
• build a responsible 90-day or twelve-month transition plan;
• identify work connected to care, repair, teaching, maintenance, public service, practical competence, and real human need.
The book includes diagnostic questions, checklists, decision matrices, boundary scripts, workplace exercises, exit scenarios, and thirteen standalone practical tools.
It is written for employees whose calendars are full but whose contribution has become difficult to identify; for people experiencing burn-out, bore-out, or brown-out; and for experienced professionals who have watched useful knowledge become secondary to reporting, visibility, corporate language, and permanent transformation.
You do not need to resign tomorrow.
You need enough clarity to protect what still matters, recognise what can no longer be repaired, and take the next honest step.
Work should not be judged by how busy it appears.
It should be judged by what it helps keep alive.
The practical volume of the Post-Bullshit Work Series.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
