“A ‘master of all trades’ is a threat to any large organization as you can not replace them easily.”

Big companies want cogs. You hire interchangeable people who do very simple well defined tasks. If one leaves you hire someone else give them the ISO9000 job description and have the replacement up and working in a week. (after the 6 month hiring process)

A “master of all trades” is a threat to any large organization as you can not replace them easily. I had this issue at past jobs luckily I had a boss who knew how to balence the process vs my skills and I was essentially made into a one man prototype lab.

If you have one guy set up firewalls, wire the network, configure the server, write the application, and leave you have no one else who knows all the steps and at best you have to hire several people to replace the person who left.

It may seem silly but large companies/organizations want consistency over brilliance.
