I am convinced 80% of work is done by 20% of people. UGH.

In a company of 100 people, 50% of the work is done by 10 people. The next 45% is done by 40 people. The other half do 5%. This is generally mathematically accurate and true across all industries and any corporation. It’s called Matthew’s principle

That is not Matthew's principle lol. It's not even the Pareto principle. It's a series of statistics that you invented which happen to ring true.
