It's not degrading or a value judgment (at this point). But OPs post / self described high impact activities pretty much fit the definition of (company) politics perfectly. The many pertinent questions I am asking are: Is it useful or necessary, to have people doing company politics full time, what are the incentives? What does this say about an organisation? Is such (internal) politics healthy for an org, how much is it predicated on, and much does it foster internal tribalism?
