I do work in IT.

> Because I'm constantly gobsmacked by inefficiencies and companies that have too many people involved in achieving simple goals?

That is also true, by no means I am implying that. There is a lot of inefficiency in many companies, but at the same time what took X people in the past now takes X-Y people for many sectors, ie accounting. Another good example is website creation and development for Small-Medium Enterprise. In the 90-s/2000s you had to pay someone to create a website for you, where now there are countless website builders, some of which are really great.
