Yeah, maybe I do lack some perspective having never worked for a truly giant company. My parents both work at massive banks (in technology, in fact, my dad has almost the same job as I do), and a lot of what they talk about is how much politics they have to do on a daily basis that has nothing to do with their job, but rather just appeasing golden retrievers with treats and belly rubs.

But then, this goes even further to show how every situation is different and there's no umbrella of advice that works for employment.
