You made me this way!

 I've seen enough different workplaces to see a pattern.  The most tenured team members have been molded by that company's culture.  They talk about the old times, back when everyone was free wheeling and shooting from the hip.  The company was young, perhaps just trying to achieve lift off.  

That culture may have been right for the company at that time.  However, the company has achieved escape velocity and is now in a different mode.

Some people grow with it, and some .... don't.

A person may eventually be let go, with the explanation being "you're just not a fit, you don't think strategically,  you shirk process, you don't do things the *right* way, etc".

To which the person may naturally respond, "You made me this way!"
