  "I would expand this, personally. Call it the Michael Scott theorem: In any company of sufficient size, there is at least one layer of management that is completely useless, but kept around as a dumping ground for people who earned a promotion but really should've stuck to non-management work, nepotism hires, and people who definitely shouldn't have been hired but are kept around so the person who recommended/approved hiring them doesn't get embarrassed." said u/Nuka-Crapola.
  
  "My lifelong best friend just got a regional VP job a month ago, and he's been trying to figure out wtf he's supposed to be doing because thus far his duties encompass replying to/directing emails between facilities in his region. It's literally a job he could do with 1.5 hours of 'real, actual work' per day…and the company is thrilled with his work thus far! I told him that I personally think he lucked into the perfect job (at least if you're going to work for someone else.)" said u/blargmehargg.

  "I am the payroll person at a state university, and I completely agree with this. The people in upper management aren't even in union-protected jobs who, in theory, should be the first ones gone when we need to settle the budget problems we have. Instead, they were the only ones who got raises during COVID." said u/Vandelay222.

  "I have a very close friend that falls into this category. He literally sits at a desk overlooking a beautiful lake and once a month drives 60 miles to visually inspect a dam. Like just drive to it and look at it. He always jokes 'if you want to see your tax dollars wasted, come visit me at work'" said u/soIstartBlasting.
