I get the usage as a dig at do nothing office jobs, but what are these jobs really? I've never worked in an office or known anyone who did well enough to ask.

So what are these jobs actually like? How do they exist in the first place? Could I lie my way into getting one lol?

    Speaking for myself, what I largely do is logistics. I am coordinating shipments between facilities and that mostly looks like sending information back and forth from one party to another.

    Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is sometimes these jobs are created because of "permissions" issues.

    For example, you don't want someone who both creates and confirms purchase orders for accountability reasons.
