Worse is when you know another part of the company is sabotaging what your trying to achieve. One might call it the right hand competing with the left, but frequently the path forward to the next version/product/whatever is pretty clear, but the existing product teams are well entrenched and of course make all the $$$$, so its a game of politics, and keeping a low profile while trying to gain traction. Pretty frustrating in many ways. Especially when you start to gain traction, then suddenly groups start to take 1/2 steps, which might have been useful and productive years earlier but now just act subversively.
