Yeah, I see it all the time. Just the other day I found out some coworkers were using this fancy framework called "C" to build their programs. The produced assembly was way overcomplicated and impossible to read. Talk about job security!
Forcing people to perform in ways that are measurably inefficient by several orders of magnitude and punishing people who step out of line is the very nature of imposing job security.
I intentionally stare out of the window letting my life drift away while at the office only because I value my job security. If I wanted to do original innovative work for compensation I wouldn't be a UX developer.
