You'll have the occasional meeting with your boss and an annoyed securi-drone, in which you'll calmly state your reasons for circumventing their measures, maybe get a slap on the wrist, and then carry on as you were. As long as you're more useful than you are annoying, then they won't fire you. (source: my illustrious 'career') | |

| Aug 11, 2020 at 14:17 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | @Michael you can also scream into the void, and it will do as much good. If the polices that senior management has put in place favoring X over Y are something that's affecting a large portion of the work force, senior management is already aware and has decided X is more important to the company than Y. Complaints from a new hire at the minion or junior management level will accomplish nothing unless you're persistent enough in making them to get labeled a trouble maker. | |

| Aug 10, 2020 at 21:12 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | @mxyzplk-SEstopbeingevil yup. I've worked small and medium sized companies, and while I'd be willing to go back to a medium sized one in the future, I don't think I'd ever want to go to a megacorp. | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 20:56 | comment | added | mxyzplk | +1. This is why startup people often bail after buyouts. Big corps buy small ones because they suck and don’t innovate any more. Now you’re on that side of the wall. Kick against it some of you have to stay due to golden handcuffs but otherwise it’s new startup time. | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 20:47 | comment | added | Fiora the Ferret | Indeed, and the change in culture is most jarring for someone who's used to working in a startup with a strong just-do-it attitude. Your megacorp clearly values obedience to policy over getting things done; you either learn to live with it and become another just order-taker until you've worked your way to the top, or move on. | |
