I would assume that these people are there mainly because they know what to do if something goes wrong, instead of sitting there for easily automatable tasks.

I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.

But maybe I’m overly optimistic.

Watching the same screen show the same shit all day long would be boring as hell.
