This kinda describes something I've always internally thought of as the "talkers-to-typers ratio" at companies I've worked at. Back in the early IT/dotcom days, the "appointee class" were primarily on their phones or in meetings, talking. The technocrats were at their computers, typing. I don't think that's as bright a red line these days, obviously, but I've still kept that name in my head and check in on the ratio every now and then when I'm taking a company's pulse or looking to join a new company.
