Though my employer certainly could be categorized as a feature factory (individual software development), we kind of sell the opposite: Sustainable development producing software which can be changed easily. There's only direct monetary compensation. Hierarchies are flat. Like, too flat.

I understand many do not have the energy to fight the status quo and some may not have the… eloquence to do so. I have worked very hard for many years to end up where I am. If others don't, I expect them to at least accept where they remain. Because they don't do "don't care". They are effectively sabotaging projects.

They certainly aren't unintelligent. They still act pretty dumb. Again, I must apologize for my polemics.
