<i>growth for the sake of growth</i><p>Working at a small shop now, and seeing this same behavior, it&#x27;s a little frightening.  In our case, and from my perspective coming from a couple of startups more recently, and large enterprises prior to that: terrifyingly frustrating for a number of reasons.<p>I&#x27;m in a great spot to make suggestions from my accumulated past, but the team and management seem terrified to make the jump and have nestled themselves nicely in the niche of &quot;let&#x27;s just do what&#x27;s easy for now&quot; while still telling themselves they want to grow grow grow, but I don&#x27;t think management is quite aware of what this growth is going to mean internally for our ability to solve problems with the toolsets we have (both for support and project management).
