People who's roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.
However, there's a class of people that do nothing. They're often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there's often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don't want to say it's everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It's also not limited to them.

I heard someone call these kinda of people "fence turtles". Nobody knows how they got up there, they don't do anything useful, and they're not likely to come down anytime soon

I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).
