Where does "generalist" usually fit in your mid to large corporate structure these days? It seems to me a good generalist tends to either leave/get fed up because at some point the company grows and he doesn't fit within their new structure - so they try to pigeonhole him into some role - losing the somewhat abstract benefit they had from having that generalist around. What do you do with a guy who can debug better than 3/4 of your coders, handle networking better than most of your network team, see the "big picture" where others won't - but really doens't like to be painted into a corner. If these people make it into senior positions with management backing, they tend to stick around, and help out where they can and drift to where they are needed - but that's often not the case.
