The whole idea of an efficient cmpany is that everyone in it is doing something other people can't . The problem is, what if the person doing X dies tomorrow or starts making unreasonable demands. Becaue of this, companies like to design their positions so everyone is expendable.

Really great companies, for a while at least, actually do assume something close to the perfect efficient company posture. It's how they enter a market, survive and thrive.

Then the suits show up.
