Reading about it, it seems they are in fact all the same. Even the white haribo mice. TIL.

Yeah, in a way. As in, I don't feel like I have any responsibility in things in the company going to shits (which I would if it were, well, my company).

Yes. This lies among the reasons I find it easier not to blame enterprises for their dysfunctions. The unsustained growth imperative of our economic systems makes the Gervais Principle behavior the path of least resistance. Indeed, the only way to stop it seems to come down to the heroism of one key influential person who chooses differently.

This also accounts for why I stopped trying to fix enterprises and instead focus on helping the well-meaning people who otherwise would need to fend for themselves.
