Narcissistic asshole goofy bigoted public CEO who inherited all their wealth.
You all know who I'm talking about.
All of them?
Bingo.
CEO.
And also politicians in general. They could and should play an important role in managing and improving society, but more often than not they only get into positions of power because they're corrupt and have connections to other powerful people.
Corporate consultants.
Their entire job to tell a company to cut payroll and make their product worse so CEOs can maximize their bonus until it is unsustainable and then the CEO can resign and do the same thing at a new company. Then the next CEO does the same thing until the company is unprofitable so it can be bet against in the stock market. To make things worse, consultants or CEOs will sell companies on "systems" owned by a friendly partner to further errode the business model that has allowed the company to get where it is at.
Consultants and short-term CEOs are the biggest parasite of good business.
"850/hr to tell someone the time based on what their own what their own watch says"
They also do may more than what the parent poster mentioned, often very well, and always at insanely inflated rates.

Health insurance - specifically the people in the call centers. I knew a guy making $150k+ and spending 75% of the year playing video games on the clock.
Surely that must be incredibly uncommon and unusual, no? Most people working in call centers make jack shit.
For real??! Sign me up for these swanky paying call center jobs.
Shareholder. What did they do for the company apart from paying someone who no longer has any connection to the company. And they still get the profits.
I wouldnβt consider that a βpaid positionβ though. They can easily lose what they invest as well - itβs just high brow gambling.
Not really gambling. Government just bails you out

Economists, people who sit on think tanks, public policy experts, any of the shits that only hold fake jobs when their party is in power (e.g. John Bolton), political commentary, at least half of wall street, any job in health insurance.
Pretty much anyone who wears a suit for a living who isn't a criminal defense lawyer. If you can't explain your job to a 6 year old and they think it's cool get a new job.
