Agree with you. Every successful team I've been on looked like this. Basically everyone just wanted to ship a thing. If that's the baseline norm, anyone motivated by politics or pecking order bullshit glow hot and everyone can see them.

I've seen multiple people fired on completely different teams for trying to walk over people in environments like this. It's amazing what those firings do to everyone else's morale. It skyrockets.

The message becomes clear "balance compassion for self and others and lets ship the thing, or you can leave."

If that messaging threatens someone, they've got work to do.
