What about the case where you have people whose paid job does not actually fundamentally add to any significant measurable net good? In that case, these people are also consuming the resources of the organization by taking a paycheck, taking up space, etc.

Perhaps corporate profits would not have to be so huge and prices could be lowered if the pay for work done was more closely related to the value added.

For that matter, how about all the jobs that nobody necessarily "wants" to do, are low paid, and yet critical to the functioning of societies?
