That's because their only job is to justify their existence. At my local office of about 200 (there are also 40 some branch offices), 40 just got laid off last week... The ones that show up at 11 and leave at 4 didn't get touched, yet the people with 10+ years with the company get the axe... Of course the people with the right last name or the sons of the biggest investors don't get touched either, despite the fact they all take 3 hour lunches and spend more company money than 10 regular employees combined...
