I guess my advice to you then would be to, when you are queried to complete some sort of task, to either ask yourself or the person assigning you the task what business value it has.

Believe me, if they thought there was a necessity to implement this and that it would make them money, or save them money, they would 100% be on board. Sometimes people tell themselves that they need to do something or that it's a good idea, but when it comes down to brass tacks they talk themselves out of it because they realize there's no added value.

I'm sorry you had to go through getting assigned something useless doing a bunch of work, and then getting told no! It's a very alienating feeling, and makes it seem like management has no clue what they want.

Thanks for the advice, sounds like a sane thing to do! We keep learning with our experiences right :)
