God's Work Syndrome

God's Work Syndrome, or GWS, is the condition where someone is convinced that the work they are doing is of utmost importance to humankind, aka, God's work. Not applicable to situations where someone is actually doing societally important work, i.e., doctors, firefighters etc. But rather used when someone is deluded about the importance of their job in improving people's lives, and feels entitled, ex. entrepreneurs, academics.

"He thinks the VCs should just blindfold themselves and hand him all the funding he needs to run the company, because he's going to give free energy to the masses. That man's got God's Work Syndrome." "My boss just implied that our research project is more valuable than the Apollo program. This guys has some God's Work Syndrome."

make-work

Noun. A societal or employment position that exists solely because funds from a money-cloud (such as tax money, tuition, endowments, and non-profit organizations) was used to create it. It's title, usually having several multi-syllabic words, is an example of the "inverse law of word length and importance". It is usually a useless position that someone with several higher-education degrees holds (and perhaps even invented themselves). The purpose for its existence is to virtue-signal on both the make-work-er and make-work-ee's parts. It is meant to persuade people based on their appeal to authority.

"Margaret's make-work position is that of a biology education researcher whose research focuses on making undergraduate science learning environments more inclusive. Trained as a Ph.D. neuroscientist, she transitioned to discipline-based education research and is an expert on course-based undergraduate research experiences and making undergraduate science learning experiences, specifically active learning courses and undergraduate research experiences, more inclusive. Her research focuses on students with concealable stigmatized identities such as religious students, LGBTQ+ students, and students with disabilities, as well as the impact on students of instructors revealing these identities in the context of the classroom. Her research in biology education has been internationally recognized and featured in Science Magazine, as well as in numerous news outlets, including the NY Times, CNN, and Scientific American."

Work For Another Class

The kind of work you do when you're done with all of your work, but you're bored as fuck, so you keep a tab open for some other class while surfing the web.

Teacher: "What are you working on now, John?"
John: "Work For Another Class."

*John goes back to surfing Twitter*
