You and those employees can quit and start their own business and you can capture 100% of that value for yourselves.
If you don't want to do that, doesn't that admit the company is providing that value, not you?
For example, I know a top salesman at Microsoft. He'd call up a customer, drop in, get ushered right in to see the CEO, and close another sale.
