Every single business is full of people who are adequate. From the line staff all the way up to managers. Cynical people call it the peter principle, but it might just be that an average manager is only averagely good at judging who is good at their job and therefore average people are just as likely to get promoted.
Or work in a smaller company.

Today, it's a crutch and almost anywhere you look, people are searching for random stuff to throw on the wall to see what sticks.
(sorry, too cynical... but I'm in the field for more than 20 years)
I suppose you could start your own company but then you will ultimately have to choose to ship and eat or perfect and starve
