Which is probably why so much of the "talent" spends so much time complaining about those nasty people that run the studio.

Hollywood is a weird beast. There's the studios -- basically four or five companies -- Disney, Sony, Universal, Viacom -- and then there are hundreds of smaller companies that provide everything from accounting services to insurance to catering and trailers. And then there are tens of thousands of freelancers who do everything from make-up and set design to garbage detail and location scouting.
The popular and false image of Hollywood is of a bunch of fat cats sitting poolside. Mostly it's middleclass and blue collar guys hustling work in a very competitive business.
