Eh not really. Those are not some minimal wage employees that have no choice but to work for them. They are highly skilled and sought-after employees. Should companies be forced to employ people even when they do not need them? Sounds pretty silly to me. Instead just give everyone basic universal income and let them do something they choose.

That’s typical for most construction projects.
If I’m going to build a building or a bridge, the number of people required to build is far more than the number of people required to maintain.
It looks like we’re starting to hit the same issue with websites. You need a maintenance staff for websites, but no where near the level of staff required to build the thing.
