> Helping other people instead of doing their assigned tasks

This leads you to another sort of stuck, though. When an engineer needs help, but everyone who could help is too busy with their assigned tasks.

I've been there. It sucks. You end up calling it a "blocker" and then managers get involved to unblock you which leads to resentment from the people/teams who were told to drop their other important stuff to help you, and then they half-ass it and it doesn't do much good anyway.

Then again, this was when I was at the large org whose chart in comic form has all the teams pointing guns at each other.
