The ending was a bit bizarre. I don’t think anyone should want to be a one man army in a corporate setting. You will never be rewarded commensurate to the work in that setting.

It is just unwanted to be that in a medium to big company.

For a long time I thought the more productive you are, the better. And it is so, until a certain point.

It is inconvenient for a big company to have “that one man” that can do “everything”. Because then when he/she is unavailable, chaos ensues, in a hurry. It can be because of disease, death, or another job. Doesn’t matter. Is a liability. Big companies want “commodity” people, that cost less, and can be easily replaced. Say RAID for HR.
