If you've worked in tech and have any degree of actual talent, you have run into the following scenario: You are on a team and that team has at least one member that isn't pulling their weight. The reasons why generally range from a lack of work ethic to a lack of talent. Regardless that person can't seem to get themselves fired. Why is that?
“lutz” seems to be the perennial problem of someone else.
perhaps that is why.

Yeah this is definitely part of it. At my current job, my manager has basically made it the problem of his manager. Everybody wants to cover their own ass and in doing so, no progress is made.
Downright depressing, lemme tell ya

My advice to anyone caught in such a scenario is to assess the situation. If your organization is unable to make tough but necessary decisions about this situation, take it as an honest reflection of reality and expect an object the motion to remain in motion without directional change.
If you don't find relief after trying to create change, there are two options: stay in place and accept it, or vote with your feet.
