Our corporations and administrations are dominated by a clique of people who, because they are symbolically interested, "give 100%" and expect others to do the same.
We can speak of a social class in charge of organizing work:
"Capital chooses a management team to represent it on the spot [in the corporations. Executives are meant] to supervise and organize the labors of the working population" (Harry Braverman USA, 1974, p. 405)
For Braverman, the people who really count in this team are those whose managerial positions offer them "a share in the surplus produced in the corporation, and thus is intended to attach them to the success or failure of the corporation and give them a ‘management stake’, even if a small one." (pp.405–6, original emphasis)
"The transition from the turmoil of 1918-1919 to the bourgeois recovery of 1920-1921 was not just an episode of socialist and left-wing defeat. It was also a crisis of transformation and redirection. […]
"The need for American intervention produced a general agreement among European political leaders that self-determination, international organization, German democratization, and the preservation of capitalism and entrepreneurship should remain the baselines of for international and domestic settlement. Those elements who did not consent were intended to remain outside the new comity: on one side, the unreconstructed right, represented, for instance by the Prussian-german ruling class, or the other side, the revolutionary left.
