Welcome to a big company, enjoy your stay, and the feeling of uselessness. To be honest, that sounds pretty normal to me.. It's an entirely different beast..

Welcome to a big company, enjoy your stay, and the feeling of uselessness. To be honest, that sounds pretty normal to me.. It's an entirely different beast.. And the organization is so large and complex that you're no longer going to be "measured" on your direct output.. The org. does not care if you in particular has zero or negative output.. The org may care if the project you work on succeeds, it may not.. It may care only that the group you're in is doing okay.. Maybe it does not.. Maybe it only cares if the division your group,your project is in does well.. And it may be willing to also take a loss at that level..
