The Riddle of the Well-Paying, Pointless Job (2019)
I didn’t see any actual examples of a high paying bullshit job cited. I don’t think they are common.<p>I have known one fellow who was given a job as a sort of fake project manager. He was perplexed over why he would be given work and then told not to do much of it, while the real decisions and administration remained with others.<p>Then he realized it was because this was a consulting company that made its profit from every billable hour he worked.<p>So, yeah, it happens, but it’s not some grand phenomenon.
