You could ask this question about 75% of all jobs. The answer would be: nothing. In this era of fakeness, even most jobs are fake.
If you ask someone what they do and they can't give an explanation within one sentence, it's because they don't do anything. Theirs is a fake job that doesn't even need to be done, yet they'll likely act as if it's the most important thing anyone has ever done, and that if they didn't go in to work for a week, the very fabric of society would be torn apart. The reality though, is that if they didn't go into work for that week, the worst that would happen is that half a dozen emails about nothing go unanswered. They can catch up on that weeks work by morning smoko on their first day back, then they just go back to paid hibernation. This is the dirty little secret of the workforce. We import hundreds of thousands of immigrants to pretend to work.
Um...no. There is a lot of waste in corporate america, including nearly every job in HR and "Diversity and Inclusion". But 75% of jobs useless? Not in the companies i've worked. They were all "for profit". If its THAT obvious that a job is useless, its usually gone.
You are actually both in agreement, but the initial sentence had and has to be slightly modified, like that:
You could ask this question about 75% of all government, public-sector jobs. The answer would be: nothing
More surprisingly though, even in the private sector, a non-negligible amount of jobs are indeed fake, notably the "diversity" and "inclusive" jobs, but also other kinds of jobs, as the (big company) private sector is collaborating with the Establishment to keep people stupidly kinda happy in their office slavery.
So the real figures about fake-jobs are, I guess:
about 70% of all public-sector jobs. The answer would be: they do nothing.
about 25% of all big-company private sector jobs. The answer would be: they do nothing.
about 0% of all private small to medium business jobs. The answer would be: they do nothing.
