In other words, management knows your job is bullshit and that is the exact reason for your job.
Yea there are a lot of office jobs like this, while hard working people who actually do the work are underpaid.
The term “featherbedding” is usually used by management to describe behaviors and rules sought by workers.
“workers” is a disambiguous word in this context, as well as “management”. Source: the rest of the article.
If you really look into stuff like featherbedding, it seems (to me at least) that it’s just a propaganda word for populists. It would be easy to convince someone that others are making more money due to featherbedding, meanwhile never discussing the worth of the work this specific someone is doing. In reality, I’d estimate over 80% of all paid work done today is some kind of this so called featherbedding.
