The tedious, tiresome process of organisations (often charities) paid and set up to help those in need - to instead send those same people on elsewhere - so they can tick their tickboxs - meet their "service targets" and feel generally good about not actually helping the individual but moving them onto someone else - only for that person to signpost them on to someone else (usually in the form of a bunch of weblinks that any fool with google can find but doesnt need)

Im sorry to hear you've lost your mother, and uncle due to COVID and that you are now homeless, jobless and without any form of support. Let me try "signposting" you to a bunch of weblinks of organisations that have already sent you to me, so I can go home thinking my job actually has any purpose.

Get the White Sign mug.To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.
Includes an element of virtue signalling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.
The intention (as well as virtue-signalling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.

My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signalling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.
