Where the dead weight truly was dead weight originally, but became more

Yep we had that, get rid of the office manager and let the engineers do
all those little jobs themselves. After constantly running out of
printer paper a graduate was delegated to look after it.

 Why not just get an unpaid intern?
 "Your job is to change the paper in the printers and such, no money but
you get valuable experience you can put on your resume to get you a real
job next year.  Oh and do you have a younger sibling who'd like your
unpaid job next year?"
 

Prospective interns don't accept those kinds of positions anymore. These days the only people who intern are those who have already mapped out their careers for the next 20 years and are taking internships in the industry they are getting advanced degrees for.  They are there for the hands on experience in the field and the bonus credits to get an over 4.0 GPA.
