This is true, I've seen this over the years in several corporate jobs, typically in large companies. Teams are overstaffed, and each person ends up not having much to do. Managers keep the team size high because it's not their money to spend, and they prefer being a team lead of 5 persons instead of 2, looks better on the CV. People spend their day in their desktop trying to invent things to do, looking busy, surfing the web discretely, waiting for the clock to hit 6 oclock. Then something "urgent" comes around that needs to be done for tomorrow, and you stay in the office until 9 to finish it. The software gets delivered, but its not deployed until 3 months down the line, and the users hardly use the application at all.
