Well, you don't wind up in such a situation by being completely passive about it. In another thread this month somebody formulated something so succinctly that I bookmarked it, just to be able to quote it in appropriate situations: "I also concluded that doing meaningless administrative/management work is addictive and those who engage in it will actively and constantly try not only to overemphasise their importance but also force themselves on top of those who they know are doing actual important work. This is in my opinion a form of understated and poorly understood violence, but also a natural survival instinct for those who feel themselves useless (maybe correctly) and must then fight to remain relevant at all costs."
