When your job is primarily to solve problems caused by someone else, and the likelihood of being chewed out for mistakes by your seniors is high. Especially if dealing with those problems usually avoided by others not in the profession. Shit catcher jobs include police and military, many IT jobs, healthcare workers and many blue collar jobs. Shit catcher is usually the role of a semi-autonomous worker or low level manager assigned to solve problems in the field. Your job is to fix other people’s problems but you’re also there to take the blame when things go wrong.
