Maybe I'm missing a core piece from this article, but it leaves out quite a bit of agency from the employee. I never understand pieces like this that rail against employers, but also seem to cast the employees in such a helpless light.
If you're stuck in a situation where you're not getting great feedback on what to work on, that seems like a great time to just build things and experiment on your own. Do it within the rails of the corporate environment you're in, or hell do it outside and put that energy into something else. Just because someone doesn't provide a map, doesn't mean you can't escape the labyrinth and get creative.
