Yup. I've come to the belief there are highly specialized systems that require a room of like 5 people you'll probably never meet or hear about to function.

Fun fact the department in NASA that saved the apollo 13 astronauts by solving problems quickly was a "rogue" office that unofficially sucked people away from other rooms in the building. It just sort of happened. It would never have survived an audit.
I imagine that happening somewhere else completely unexciting but more important than it seems, like a sewer maintenence department, or people who inspect eggs for quality and disease, or cooling pipes cleaners in nuclear power plants.
This is what the horrifically depressing nuclear war movie "threads" was about, modern life depends on so many specialized people our technical systems just CAN'T "tank" losing any random 50%, 30%, 10% or even 5% of the population, it will eventually collapse.
