This is a great understanding of how to keep your sanity as someone that just wants ro get sh*t done.
This cannot be accomplished in a largecap company. Too many politic layers. Cant be done in a startup that is professionally backed - too much window dressing for investors.
However, small privates are the sweet spot for honest workers. Get stuff done, or make sales, and ownership doesnt care if your hair is blue or your style is brash. In fact, most savvy owners will hire exactly that "rough" worker precisely because what they see is what they get.
That worker is not an apiring manager, but an artisan, with no patience for nonsense, and ready to call out BS when they see it.

That is management-repellant
