I think one reason this is so contentious is that it really depends on where you work. I have worked at a bank and this is definitely true. I have also worked at Amazon and Meta, and it was significantly less true there. I don't think I knew a single ghost at Amazon. But it was a common joke at the bank that 'that's Bob. No one knows what Bob's job is'. Straight out of the movie office space.
