Not sure I understand the reasons for pointing the obvious, especially using such ambiguous line of reasoning. I disagree with: “Oh, that’s not my job,” is the sound of doom. Maybe not imminent doom, but doom indeed. because I have seen multinational companies [revenue $25B, $43B], where culture and many employee's attitude was “Oh, that’s not my job,”. These companies Net Income is billions of USD. Not sure I see how they are doomed. I would be glad to be doomed with $1B of annual income [after taxes]. I think it is important be realistic and understand that instilling such [make shit work] attitude is only possible in a small start-up or bootstrapped company, and only when most of the senior people posses such attitude. As for the bigCo: - It is statistically not possible to have A players with can do/will do attitude, when the company size grows above certain threshold. So eventually you pick-up some B/C/D people, who would start playing games. - I have tried several times to put together a small team of doers within bigCo - it never works in the end because overall culture overpowers and draines you. - My advice for a doer would be simple - either [1] calm down to avoid burnout [inevitable when everybody is dumping on you] or [2] run and find a place where your attitude and strengths will be appreciated, or even better, find a place and run....
