One time I worked in this IT department where, for the first six months, they literally didn't give me anything to do. The department head would come check on me multiple times per day, to the point of being really annoying, but not give me any tasks even when I asked for work to do. This guy had been Peter Principled a long time ago.
I knew how IT Ops works so I started finding problems that I needed his help to fix and politely hounding him about it until he he got me what I needed. It didn't take him long to start avoiding me.
I do not miss that place at all.
Edit: They even gave me a promotion with a kind of implicit understanding that I was supposed to somehow manage this guy even though I was one of his direct reports. Turned out management was incompetent all the way up the ladder. If you find yourself in that position, GTFO as soon as possible. It will make you miserable.
