Maybe kinda TA. They could be honest. The company would save money paying them less for the same outcome but this is human but eg if it was government, this would be wasting public money.

I told my boss I was semi idle they found more work for me to do.

You've clearly never worked in large corporations - I'm almost 4 years in and I've learned:

  - Any advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic for a lot of "business users"
  - Decisions get made the speed of a tanker turning
  - Management decisions will usually cause projects to take a complete 180

A lot of the time it's large businesses wasting money, while efficient/good developers get frustrated. You have to learn to let it go.
