OP is doing the job assigned to them. Sure, the higher-ups might not have SAID "do the minimum required", but that's what they expressed through the corporate culture they set forth. Personally I could never work somewhere where I'm expected to effectively not work, no matter how much they pay. But people have bills, and family to support, so I can't fault someone else for taking a mind-numbing "fake work" job. They tend to pay well.
