Enigin Reveal Highly-Paid But Useless Jobs V
We encourage all Enigin Distributors and Enigin Partners to gather together a team that they work with closely, defining clear roles and dignifying them by allowing them the authority over their responsibilities.
Corporations often hire people to do jobs that don’t really need doing. Sometimes it’s because an executive is building an empire. Sometimes it’s the result of random corporate confusion.
Most of the time, these useless jobs pop up at the bottom of the food chain. However, some are executive positions that are both highly-paid and exist in almost every large firm - even though they’re not really accomplishing anything.
This is the final list of a list of the top 5 time-wasting and useless (but big money) corporate jobs. You may argue about the selection, of course, especially if your job is on my list:
Useless Job 5: Change Catalyst
- The Concept: Nurture teams and organizations to succeed and achieve business productivity and organizational goals by challenging paradigms of management and leadership thinking and by guiding people through to real action and research of their professional and personal work. (Note: the preceding was lifted from an actual website.)
- Typically Reports To: CEO (under contract)
- Why It’s Useless: These are the tapeworms of the corporate world. They latch onto the management fad du jour, and then suck money out of your company by setting up dopey meetings, writing unreadable reports, and providing unwanted/unneeded advice. By positioning themselves as “catalysts” they neatly remove themselves from any actual responsibility for results. On the other hand, if something good happens, they can say that it happened because they were “facilitating” the change.
- The Results: For a corporation, a really bad fiscal year is the equivalent of a thorough vermifuge. When the money disappears, all sorts of parasites get, well…, crapped out. This particular ilk is always amongst the first to be eliminated.
