I equate much of what you describe as a lack of transparency between folks on the team. I feel there needs to be more transparency between team members. Folks need to build trust. To do this you need work close enough together sharing ideas and things you learn to build that trust.

It’s one thing to be great and another to make those around you great. The first one gets you more work and the second one helps you to share the load with everyone.

Where I am currently has issues with too much specialization, in my opinion, combined with a lack of documentation as well.

Your Saturday workday example is a great one and one issue with forcing an employee to work on the weekend is that can lower morale and also make that person less likely to go above and beyond at a later date.
