The satisfaction of being insufficient

Yesterday I have passively assisted at an employee declared satisfaction of being insufficient.
The office manager in question was relatively satisfied with her role of being insufficient, at work of course, and more than happy to adjust this type of condition to new recruits. It was not important to recruit well-educated, prepared and skilled persons, but it was essential to recruit someone adapted to a low level of work satisfaction, unprepared and hopefully uneducated, so as not to exceed the existing poor benchmarking.
The party was to start that a leaving lawyer, experienced and expert in various field, is to be replaced with low standard' requirements, adapted not to the firm’s necessity but to the level of OM. Beside the self-sufficiency attitude not so ever sustained by any work quality or educational credentials, it stroked me that need to ask for poor lawyer with bad payment: we need to give less and ask for even lesser, was the sufficient condition for being insufficient.
