If you have not, I would like to introduce you to one of the best pieces of writing on corporate workings that I have ever come across: The Gervais Principle.

It is a very good lens, but a very cynical one, to look at the corporation.
In general, shows like The Office, though satire, are close, I feel, to reality than what you are espousing here.
Not that I disagree with you at all. There should be people that are all about hiring. There should be managers that see their paychecks as adequate compensation. There should be consumers that are that reactive to internal staffing decisions.
But in my limited experience, the things that should be there, typically are not.
