A common "cost saving" measure in companies is to get rid of various admin staff, people like PAs and the ones who book travel etc.
Now everyone has to spend a bunch of time doing work that a £20KPA first-jobber could be doing.
In some cases (e.g. scheduling meetings), the amount of time doing that gets bigger the higher up you get. This means that a £200KPA executive probably now spends a fifth of their time on grunt work.
In other cases (e.g. international travel booking), someone who has it as their day-to-day job will get it done correctly in a fraction of the time of anyone else.
