Sure but projects don't complete themselves.

Not with that attitude they won’t.

I once worked in a company where one of my colleagues actively created phantom projects for his department, oversaw them, checked off metrics, went to meetings, and “deployed” solutions for capabilities that the company already had but had forgotten about. He once confided to me that he hadn’t actually made anything in over a decade. He still works there, 15 years later.

I salute your colleague's silent resistance to wage slavery.
