I think this is a fundamental problem with how we've structured modern organizations in a way that removes all personal accountability and responsibility. Everyone is accountable to the organization. Nobody has "be reasonable" as part of their job duties or performance evaluation. It's not wholly their fault but I blame the MBA-ization of everything for a lot of this.
