that plus "things they can't do" are literally 100% of jobs.
the issue isn't this though. the issue is that it's manufactured prestige, like when a guy with 2 yachts goes and buys a third. no one needs 3 yachts. it's physically impossible to use 3 yachts. they're doing it to socially signal to others that they can afford to waste money on a third yacht (upkeep alone is extremely expensive).
her job is no different. but instead of a filthy rich guy buying his third yacht to signal how much money he can waste, it's a filthy rich company paying a woman to do fake work to signal how much money they can waste on things like gender representation numbers.
That's the same reason I have staplers in 3 different rooms. It has nothing to do with the ability have access to a stapler while in different places without carrying a stapler around with me. It's entirely to signal that I can afford that third stapler.
i know you're being facetious but staplers are not like yachts. stapler upkeep is marginally zero. boat upkeep is crazy expensive, even if it's not running. it's astronomically cheaper to send your yacht from st james to monaco than having two yachts in st james and monaco. i can at least understand one yacht in pacific/io side, and the other atlantic side, as the major canals/straights really suck, but a third yacht is purely about signaling extreme wealth.
