Great text for all the green geeks moving into corporate world: not prioritizing the things your boss wants to prioritize is precisely the wrong thing to do. It's not evil, it's called building trust and trust is the key glue in all orgs. Like in any relationship, first one needs to prove that one is trustworthy. Then, if there are these great projects they need to be sold to ones boss before moving forward. While I appreciate the fact that Amazon might not have the best employer culture I think the OP would have been burnt at any big corp. It's great to have vision and initiative - but the thing is, either you do those on your own time or then get management backing first. I have the highest sympathies for burning out - it sucks. Perhaps there should be a "How to live in a corporate culture for dummies" book somewhere.
