    The article discusses the rise of pointless jobs where employees are paid to perform tasks with no real benefit or purpose. It provides examples of individuals who were hired to guard empty rooms or reorganize files that didn't need organizing. Experts argue this stems from employers creating jobs to stay competitive rather than because the work is valuable. However, others believe all jobs provide meaning and economic benefits, even if the tasks seem pointless.
