In reality though, this is exactly what happens, and this mindset is exactly what creates entire departments of incompetent but friendly, 'team oriented', well-meaning idiots. These kinds of people are fine for BAU operations (and to be fair that's pretty much all Atlassian now does) but not for outcome focused project driven work.
Eventually leadership catches on and creates a dedicated 'get things done' team where this friendly fishpond HR shit doesn't fly and people have to actually pull their weight again.
