I'm sure it's different when contracting, but it's really hard when working in a large organisations. There are a few different kinds of reactions to the inefficiencies and inequalities in $BIGCORP: * Try to fix everything - this will lead to burnout * Ignore it, and just work on your stuff - this will work, but you probably won't get promoted * Play politics and try to fix a few things through the "right channels" - this probably works, but it's really really difficult and can be soul-destroying. * Do what you can, and update your resume - cynical, but probably the best option if you like eating food. I mean, you're not always in a position where you can educate your clients. Sometimes doing that would be a career limiting move.
