My observations parallel those of many in this thread. Another thing I've noticed, but wasn't able to properly "name" until someone I work with did so, is the idea of a "pocket veto." [1] There are two people on my team who have become extremely disengaged of late–and I think one has good reason–and one way this manifests is in their agreement to do or fix something, but those changes never actually being implemented. I find myself having to follow up many times to ensure things don't get lost in the shuffle. But I don't directly manage one of the people, and it seems like they just DGAF what I say–no matter how I approach them. "Strong suggestions" really don't go anywhere. Pretty apathetic, if you ask me. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto edit: fixed typos
