Not true at all. Some employees can create profit if you could hire more of these employees you jump. Sales people are easy to measure, if you could hire 100 or 1000 people who make double what they cost you do.
If you want some other area of your company strong you invest in that area. An lawyer during a period where the public is sueing you pays for itself.
Hiring a developer to fix a login issue saves refunds.
A lot of jobs seems less important but they provide support and are net positives. Having a server guy means you have a working server. Having a marketing guy means new leads are coming in. Having more sales people means converting more of those leads.
The ineffiency comes when you have too many people in one department waiting on an understaffed area in some other part of the business.

And that's my point. Every hire a business makes is to increase revenue or reduce costs. Employment benefits the worker, but it also benefits the business. If a business could get the work of that employee done without hiring that employee, it would happily do so.
If two parties partake in a trade that has mutual benefit, why is either of them "noble"? Why aren't we calling the worker "noble" for providing the business with their skills and time?
