The next one that I work with who isn't completely worthless will be the first.
Some companies just hand the stupid title out to new hires because they have no idea WTF else to call them. At least it seems that way.

We are doing a project and I think there is about one manager per person actually doing work. Meanwhile the managers are totally clueless with regards to actually managing scope and expect the worker bees to do it.

That is pretty common, especially in government. There are like 20 people in our HR department but only 2-3 of them actually seem to do anything. The rest have fancy management titles.

I was an operations manager once.
My only task was to annoy everyone often enough that they realized that someone was actually watching them. I took a bit of sadistic glee in taking all the reports and updates I forced them to send me....and shoving them all in a file that no one ever looked in. Hell, half the time I didn't even file them, I just left them on my desk until they disappeared. I probably used them for scratch paper to jot down notes from the video game I played about 7 hours a day, every day, at work back then.
The best part was (even better than the stuff I just mentioned) I got to take credit if they did a good job, and blame them if they screwed up. Oh god that was a great effing job.

They dont even care about the content, thy just want your estimate of how long it will take.
I guess its needed to maintain schedules across a wide range of groups... Its actually the sort of job secretaries use to do.

Secretaries don't get their own corner office or the ability to tell everyone to STFU and listen. That was fun too.

The majority at my current job bring a few things to the table.
Mind you I've been at a couple places where they just waste air and people are better off doing their own management.
