Default Re: Pointless Job ... and the taxpayer is paying for it!

I have seen very few pointless jobs in my time, but I think the leafblower takes the cake. Maybe, next time someone should offer him the use of one of those big gardening bags that you stuff leaves and sticks and stuff into?
Most of the pointless jobs I see are those in a position that they are meant to be doing something, but for some reason or another they don't. So they get payed to sit there, do nothing but because nothing changes / goes wrong (re, they arn't doing anything to induce problems) they get the kudos while the people in the supporting role to theirs work their butts off fixing issues.
No, I'm not talking just management here either
