There is so much here touched upon one can only speculate in terms of experiential humanity…
* natural human tendency for us to become curmudgeons
* you may be involved in a conspiracy
Curmudgeons
Consider yourself, how do you feel during first week of a new job? Like you can do anything and your eager to go out of your way to make it all perfect?
Or the last week of a job you respect, when you wanted to make sure you’ve left nothing hanging?
And the long interim in between? The daily grind, the now familiarity, comfort zone dividing what is expected and responsible for you, and how not to get caught up in “extra work”.
Psychologically unlocking this human capacity for change may require reshuffling the org, or a incentive level redirect of priorities.
Conspiracy
Worth mentioning (about humans). What causes conspiracy? Job security and haters to name a few. Solution? Reshuffle the org as appropriate.

- jkjdowindnaweuh 4y ago> reshuffling the org, or an incentive level redirect of priorities. This is the conversation I need to have with the management team - to ask them to clearly state that they value knowledge sharing, and to demonstrate that through incentives (reviews, bonuses, raises, promotions etc). I'm always wary of incentive-driven changes though - never underestimate people's creativity when it comes to gaming management metrics.
