Out of curiosity, given that you appear to have more experience in this domain: 1) if there is a regulatory reason behind "protectionism" of some employees/departments, why not outright announce it to the rest of the company? 2) if you're saying that someone that wages "civil war" against other employees is bad regardless of their motivations, what would be your alternative for someone genuinely knowing the best long-term outcome for the company but otherwise lacking the necessary connections to play "puppet master" behind the scenes or pass money under the table to influence the right people?
