If you have something to do the job is worthwhile. If its busywork, at least you get paid. If you don't have either of those things, the boss/work is not worth anyone's time, you're better of taking training and quitting. Meanwhile hopefully the market/regulation sorts itself, and your boss loses his job, because someone does something worthwhile elsewhere.
