You mean like the people paid to wait in line for other people at US gov hearings?

Sounds awfully similar to "completing tasks contrived by a game designer"

Paying for someone to stand in line for you isn't a bullshit job tho - it's generating value because the person paying is obviously otherwise occupied with a better use of their time, and thus can afford to pay someone else to stay in the queue.
