Every job is a game. Life is a game. Learn the rules. By which I mean every circumstance is different. Every coworker, every manager, is different. Pay attention and figure out what actions get stuff done. Which people get stuff done. For example in a small company if you need a new laptop, you just ask someone. In a corporate space you need to be in a budget, so planning far ahead is important. Some managers like lots of feedback. Others don't. Some companies are cheap, others are generous. It's a game - learn the rules. It's no good being a football player in a baseball team.
