I can't remember which podcast I was listening to — @SamHarrisOrg + @paulbloomatyale? — but my favorite point made was that journalists with no entrepreneurial experience underestimate the extent to which all *functional* companies are basically rolling internal clusterfucks
To extend the point a bit, if you ever come across a company or other org that lacks a visceral precariousness (at best) or live alarm (at worst), you've likely stumbled upon either a scam or a zombie-megacorp shambler, a troll-under-bridge biz model stitched to an HR department

I dunno. Spent 3 years working for the most boring 80-person programming house ever. Projects were planned with long timelines, company was profitable but not wildly so. Stable customer base. Fully expect to see them trundling along for decades.

I think you are right that the level of dysfunction at most companies is way above 0, and that's okay. The tricky part, for an employee (not a journo), is to work at a few companies to learn the baseline for how much dysfunction is acceptable - to learn where to draw the line.
Because the counter-risk is that a person can land at an order-of-magnitude more dysfunctional company than is normal, mistakenly think 'that's okay, all companies have problems' (bad apples will actively encourage this) and go along w/something when they should really just bail.
