Almost every lecturer my wife has is tenure track or already tenured.

One of them just plays videos of himself in his lectures. He doesn't actually go to them. He is actually around during less than half of his scheduled office hours. He complains to (and at least once has shouted at) the TAs about how students keep asking him questions. He has tenure.
