Seth Milchick is one of Severance's "most important characters" according to the showrunner, but originally he was a bit part until Tramell Tillman showed up
If they’re doing other jobs on the severed floor in-between C&M performances, they’re not temps.

So then what is the purpose of MDRs work?
We know that MDR is creating new personalities for the Severance chips of other people, and we know that there’s a huge milestone with either putting many different personalities onto a single chip, or with a personality confronting the deepest trauma of a person. That’s absolutely no mystery box. You may not like the answer to be so simple (as you’ve stated elsewhere), but that doesn’t mean it’s a mystery box.

It’s not a satisfying ending if the premise of the show is ‘you thought severing was flawless, but guess what it fails sometime, but guess what, we use severed employees to make it fail less’.
The show has shown us multiple times that severing isn’t flawless, e.g. with Irvings black goop (and also iMark being affected by the sadness oMark feels due to Gemmas death). This isn’t some new revelation, it has been a part of the story since very early on.
