I’m not saying they’re essential to the business, I’m just saying that a CEO coming up with a restructuring model, once, can save millions of dollars a year for a big company. There’s really nothing that a grocery store cashier can do that will save the store millions of dollars, and the labor of a single cashier make turn the store 10 or 20 thousand dollars a year. It’s just a matter of scale. Someone making big decisions that impact hundreds or thousands of workers has a way bigger impact than someone on the frontline of the business. That’s why you want to find a really really good one, and to do that you’ll need to pay what they ask for, because if you don’t, another company will and you’ll lose your guy.

>That’s an unnecessary amount of protein for people who aren’t weight training or maintaining a large amount of muscle

Recommendations for sedentary (that is, people without much exercise) adults are about 0.75g/kg

I'd agree 2g/kg is high, but 1g/kg is pretty much a basic need if you're doing any kind of exercise a few times per week and want muscle for anything - from hiking, to recreational sports, ability to move things around your house safely etc.. And if you're not, you need to start doing it, and then up your protein intake!
