> This isn't an IT thing. The vast majority of people are average. Anyone who thinks they do better than the rest is likely wrong. It requires insane levels of bureaucratic power and will to truly force anything better than average.
Or work in a smaller company.

Why do you think smaller companies aren't also full of average people?

The point is that smaller companies are less full of _people_. Less bureaucracy, less institutional inertia and more relative influence of each individual.

Yeah, if someone’s not getting with the program it’s easier to walk across the building and talk to them than email across 3+ time zones and potentially a language barrier.
Every single business is full of people who are adequate. From the line staff all the way up to managers. Cynical people call it the peter principle, but it might just be that an average manager is only averagely good at judging who is good at their job and therefore average people are just as likely to get promoted.
