Most companies are politically fiefdoms of a sort. This is by design. You're completely dependent on the benevolence of the management chain above you. This also explains why decadent or malicious management is nearly impossible to overcome without resorting to involving lawyers.

    Absolutely. So the key is to understand the management chain above you and optimize that relationship. You either give them just enough that they would fire someone else first, or you make them dependent on you. Of course the real problem is when someone in the change swaps out from a benevolent manager to dick :)

    Had this happen with a VP seat. The resignations that followed made the office look like ground-zero for an extinction-level event.
