I'm sure it has happened somewhere at sometime; I have heard an anecdote or two. Perhaps three now. But based on what I've witnessed over 30 years of onsite calls (more fields than I can count) - the assertion that "Most office jobs outside of the software engineering ... People do very little actual work" - is false. Massively, bizarrely false. Conspiracy-theory level false. If it were true in the slightest, I'd of witnessed it repeatedly. I would have met people who could testify of it over and over. If not one in field, than another. What I (along with most folks) witness are employees doing actual work, many working to the point of their own physical detriment. Based on widespread reality, I rate the assertion as physics-grade false.
