Lots of people won't do this work, it's true. But the ones who will, are much more likely to make phenomenal colleagues. They care, they are focused, they are diligent. Things work better when you are in a team with more of that. Try it someday.
Also, for people standing outside the company looking in, things do not look happy and healthy at Canonical, which makes it even more likely you are being fooled by some of your own staff, or the figures they present to your, into thinking things are better than they are. I've failed to find a single positive review of working for Canonical, yet we have a smorgasbord of bad reviews all over the internet. You may want to evaluate that as "evidence" that something isn't right.
Thanks for Ubuntu by the way. I've got well over 15k servers running it right now and wouldn't even consider anything else.
