I work very hard to avoid working with people who think like this. Have the guts to stand up and own something.

- jcims 4y agoSome things have never had an owner, others can’t keep one. In the latter case, at least in my experience, it’s because the ‘thing’ is actually composed of several things that clearly have different owners but the link was lost in the composition. The furthest I’d go with pat advice is own finding the owner. If it’s truly homeless then feel free to take it in as a rescue. If it’s a rat king, grab your side cutters and get to work.

- itsgrimetime 4y agoShould someone do this when they're not going to be amply rewarded for doing so?
- beckingz 4y agoI own plenty. There are more things than I can own sustainably, so somethings need to go unowned until the powers that be decide they need ownership.
- TameAntelope 4y agoSure, but then be open about that. Silently watching as something fails at your business so you get to feel superior is toxic as hell.
- robocat 4y agoTrying to own 100% of problems is as toxic as trying to own 0%. Agreement is often critical: https://sharedphysics.com/everything-is-important/ https://sharedphysics.com/everything-is-important/
- formerkrogemp 4y agoScrew that. If I'm not getting paid for it and the company isn't invested in my well-being or I'm seen as a replaceable cog, then I'm not taking on extra responsibilities for no pay or reason. I'll let the executives worry about business shortcomings and only do my job. Not two others as well. If I'm being paid to own my work and its attendant liabilities, I expect to be paid for that risk. On top of that, agreement isn't always necessary. You can disagree with coworkers and still execute just fine.
