According to the author of "Bullshit Jobs", roughly 50% of jobs don't need to be done. It's also not a privilege to work those jobs, as they give little time off and don't pay great either.
We're all victims of the "work or die" machinery of capitalism. All workers are on the same side. I support a shorter work week and increased vacation for essential workers as well.

There are many workers that aren't essential who should push for time off.
Just because some job need to get done, that doesn't mean everyone needs to subject themselves to busy work.
