Why do you use the word parasites?

There are many examples with names such as "organizational democracy," "flat" organizations, etc. with examples such as Gore-Tex, Morning Star, etc. Here are a few starting points for you to research (I don't know much about them):

I use the word parasites because of the example i linked, which made me angry before my coffee.

Like many, have thought similar about the negative contribution of the growing academic administrative class, in parallel with ridiculously high tuition.
