Without just heaping on the consensus rejection of the OP's idea, it's astonishingly common for workers at every level to assume they're the only useful part of the company and everything else is deadweight, especially all that management stuff above them. That's the core of the "functionalist" movements of the 1930s, the core of most union attitude and endemic in today's twisted world of software/online/virtual manufacturing, where the "build and sell out" model still reigns.
And validates an insightful comment from a man who was, amusingly, subject to his own observation:
“Expertise in one field does not carry over into other fields. But experts often think so. The narrower their field of knowledge, the more likely they are to think so.”
