Unfortunately, people can and do indulge in exactly this behaviour, and there does need to be some pushback against it. Individual self-interest must be counterbalanced by what is in the interest of the business when the two are not aligned. I have seen this happen before, and when the interests and ambitions of an individual are counterproductive to the direct needs of the company, that can be deeply problematic.
