They don't think we can do even the simplest of tasks. So why do they expect us to be able to read their mind?

I think you'll find that this answer covers even that dilemma:

I think that must be true as Deep Thought and 42 were on Today today.

42 hours of wasting time, thinking about women thoughts
42 days of wasting time, asking women about their thought
42 women wasted, finding out what goes on in their mind

42 is truely the answer!

Of course they think we are capable of simple tasks, otherwise there wouldn't be a honey-do list.
Trust me, you don't want to know what's going on in women's minds. You won't understand most of it and the rest will drive you insane.

I was given a tour of our local Royal Mail Sorting Office the other day.
I asked the guy taking the tour "What's that machine?"
"That, Sir, is the Acme 3000 Auto Sorter System. It can sort 150,000 letters an hour and it's 99.9% accurate.
It's controlled by 12 supercomputers, each of which is 5000 times more powerful than an average desktop PC.
It has over 15,000 state-of-the-art optical location identification sensors, contains enough circuit boards to entirely cover the pitch at the new Wembley stadium and it has 200 miles of fibre-optic cable.
It took five years and over £100 million to develop," he boasted proudly.
"What happens to the letters after it's finished sorting them?" I asked.
"We give them to a bloke on a push bike."

Since your a newbie here  I will point out there is a Joke icon. Yes the Subject is POJOTD but ....
If it was not for the 12 supercomputers it would be hard to tell it was a joke as it sounds like how things are done in the USA, except it would be a push cart not a bike.

I've also seen MiB3, so I know how the letters get sorted in the US...

So as the subject states, how often do you take the initiative in your company? When you see a problem with a process or a way in which you think you can improve the codebase / system / application do you speak to someone higher up not with just a complaint but a resolve to fix this?
I do and quite often if I can think of a suggestion as an improvement, when I was less experienced and more naive this used to be often without enough thought however now I go through my own little process to decide if I should talk to someone about an improvement. Will this help the company? Is it just me who thinks this? Is this proccess costly (performance, exspense etc) etc.
So once again the question;
How often do you take the initiative in your company?

It's my job to take initiative, to find improvements (but not necessarily to implement them).
So I do it every day a several time...

I must say that sounds like a brilliant job, though hard also? Is it mainly for one company or do you do consultant based work?

I do it for the same company for over 15 year, and still interesting...
