"Change your code to match your organization." - Bicking
Some organizations are toxic, though. If they don't change they will ship toxic code or wreck the people shipping the code with the toxicity. I have a friend who works as an engineering management guru. He calls himself a Corporate Oncologist. Many times he finds that the people who hired him are the source of the problem. So he tries to get them to change their ways gently. But sometimes he just throws in the towel before he even begins. "Sorry. I can't help you."

This is so true. My current place is one where the organization has drastically improved, and you can read it in the code. It's so clear can tell you which group of people wrote what without using git blame just by looking at the code.
