Is there a word for a job title that are based on doing busy work

Question

Is there a word for a job title that doesn't actually contribute to increasing productivity in an organization and is redundant, wouldn't matter if this positions were vacant and even if you make them disappear.

A loose example would be document controller working for a very small valued and magnitude project where responsibilities of this position could have been easily accomplished by a coordinator in excess to his own. but a inexperience first timer project manager (nepotism) utilized his bookish idea to employee another inexperienced incompetent document controller.

Answer 1

You are probably looking for make-work, e.g. a make-work position.

make-work noun [ U ]

unimportant work given to someone to keep that person busy.

Answer 2

In some ways, sinecure may be what you are looking for. It more has the connotation of a job that doesn't require any work but I think it could be stretched to cover jobs which provide no value.
