Yep, as much as everyone wants to assume that everyone in the C-Suite is an idiot - I am quite certain they also know that a lot of the work that is being done in big companies, doesn't actually need to be done - but when times are good, those projects get funded anyway.

Advice to younger folks, try to get on a project in your company that is critical to its success if you are worried about job stability - still not a guarantee, but better than being on some VP's vanity project that doesn't move the needle for the company at all and is likely to get shutdown on a whim.
