Depends, I always took a sprint task, certainly less than the team itself, but how do I design a career path if I'm blissfully unaware of the work that is being done? How do I plan long term if I don't understand the technical complexity of the problems being faced? Why would I waste time on conflict resolution when I can spend time enabling and building people? You want to argue about your colleague, or make do you want to advance and make more money?
