This accounts for the "flunkies" class of Bullshit Jobs [1]. And I don't think that capitalism is particularly effective in keeping this type of jobs in control as company grows. Because outside of the personal prestige of a manager, there's also the corporate facade. E.g. banks often prefer to keep paying redundant employees rather than laying them off, which would signal that they're having problems.
