> Anyone else dealt with this? > Anyone have any type of jobs where friction is minimal? Tactically: Get better at navigating it. Is there a person hitting a button somewhere? Get to know that team well. Make it easy for them to approve your requests by being exemplary. Automate the process on your end. I've written scripts to fill out forms and open sourced them internally at large companies. Strategically: Understand why it's so filled with friction at a systemic level. Legacy organizational structure? Lack of engineering resources on the platform teams? Try to suggest sensible, iterative fixes. This only works at some companies, others are so tribal that another team approaching them with a low effort / high return suggestion is seen as aggression. It's much more rewarding to attempt to solve these problems and be an owner than to go into ugh whatever mode and passively take it. It's also better for your career in the long term.
