Outside of startups this accurately describes almost the entirety of private entities I've seen, at least this past decade (from my impression it's getting a lot worse). Bullshit jobs upon bullshit jobs.

This is not a public-sector-only problem; in fact from personal impression I'd say private entities are slightly worse in that respect.
