Some people, especially in staff+ engineer levels, just want to work on their little piece of an ultra complex data center problem and are happy doing it. From my experience, they don’t seem to care what the broader company is up to, they’re just immersed in their n-of-1 problem space and happy that they get to solve it.
Not saying it’s the right thing to do, but not everyone actively cares about their company. It’s a paycheck and fulfilling technical problem solving to them.
