Well, if Parkinson's law is correct http://www.economist.com/node/14116121 and bureaucracies expand by 6% every year regardless of the amount of work, more and more of us will end up with useless jobs.
All the time reading this discussion I was thinking about Parkinson. What if overgrown beaurocracies created a system that protects their existence? Self organized megabeurocratic society?
Another thought: the resistance to any corporate software that would considerably increase efficiency is explained by selfpreservation of the system.
