For most of my career I opportunistically cleaned up tech debt without being asked, because I wanted to. I felt ownership. Now that I'm in a Jira-based job with micromanagement and no autonomy I don't do a single thing I don't have to do.

Discretionary effort used to be the bread and butter of my career. Now the bureaucratic and social project management overhead required for any change makes things too annoying to be worth doing if I don't have to. I don't care if the product works long term, I don't care if the company succeeds long term, I just do my tickets until I find the next job.

It's interesting how the companies creating this culture often pride themselves on culture and think they're doing it right.

It is like restaurants they say their ingredients are "fresh". If you have to specifically call it out, there is something wrong.
