I've seen that happen at more than a few workplaces. It's a very interesting phenomenon, almost like a cultural helplessness that seeps into an environment. The crazy thing is that it only takes one or two people and everyone gets infected eventually. It seems you have to have a very, very strong personal fortitude to resist it.
I think the "sense that you can change things", for which positivity is required, is the single most valuable asset that a company/team/whatever can have.
Yes but why? I mean why bother when it feels like trying to move rocks alone and even if you do you won't get recognition in any form. What can you do if the org just does not get it?
