HR and management get paid upwards of £50k for drinking coffee, doing unnnecessary spreadsheets, having unnecessary meetings, delegating, and sacking people who are smart enough to get what they're up to.

Can I add change management consultants. Spend too long asking how and why things are done a certain way before recommending you go back to the way they were done five years previously. When you point this out you get blamed in advance for their changes not working because your attitude is wrong. Do a job for 30 years and these pilchards know more about it in a couple of weeks.

As a young man I worked some months as a security guard at a north London commercial building. One of its floor holding clients there was a publishing company...Gee Publishing it was called.

Anyway, each morning I'd sit at my reception desk and watch the mostly young females working for Gee Publishing would come in. They were made up to the nines and looked fantastic. Then you'd see this woman come in, no make up, overweight and frumpy. It turned out that she was the hot shot at her job and the rest were mostly fillers....with the usual 'make busy' jobs.

So as Musk proved at Twitter, there are a hell of a lot of 'make busy' jobs going about.
