When such things happen - and I am sure these things do happen -- do you feel the itch to just break out on your own and leave the company politics behind for good? Does any of this sound like the woe-story of your work life?
It's probably true that each of us have felt strongly about some of the above statements at our work place. There are varied reactions to such situations.
