Great insights. Wonder why the tech guy who buried bugs wasn't fired, though. I've always been an advocate for "recipes" of how to perform specific tasks. Not only do I benefit when others make it easy for me to learn a job, I want others to benefit from what I learned as well. I have difficulty with people who don't communicate what they know, whether it's to seem indispensable, or because they are afraid of pushback or disagreement.
You and I are on the same page about "recipes" for tasks and sharing knowledge. I guess his bosses never found out what he was doing. It was a place where people kept a lot of secrets. I didn't want to get shot or blown up (which happened to people disturbingly often), so when I learned secrets there, I kept them too.
