One of those software management coaches once complained about this structure, "instead of celebrating people for their strengths, we punish them for their weaknesses". Most companies have enough people that as long as I'm really good at three things and we all know which three things I'm terrible at, everybody gets what they need and the company flourishes.
Instead we all have to be identical, and our "development plan" is all about getting better at doing things that normally I'd let somebody else take care of, because they will always be better at it than I am. No big raise for me, even though I've saved you two headcount and reduced regressions by a factor of four by improving the dev process and toolchain.

Oh, you're surprised I gave my two weeks?
