most well-run companies are always looking at ways of getting rid of dead wood

So get a job at a badly run company. Find a huge multinational which works in a wide variety of fields and apply for a job in a department without clear deliverables. Send lots of emails, attend lots of meetings, be friendly to everybody and always look busy. If anybody asks, you're mostly working on a vaguely defined internal project being run out of the Singapore office at the moment.

Sounds like work, which kind of defeats the purpose here.

The topic is pointless jobs. Not pointless paychecks.
