>Alternatively, you could also offer to take over the projects. Go directly to the C-level crew and tell them you're going to be put in charge of the project, you need $x and authority over the project to get it done. Although I agree with the rest of your post, I don't think this is a particularly good idea. From what I've seen of politically fraught projects, asking for authority just gets you more entangled in the bullshit that's dragging down the project. Its best to just put in the work that's asked of you and start hunting for greener pastures. The C-level folks made the bed. Its not your job to sleep in it.
