Anything else we should know Big organizations operate like big organizations. The C-suite may want a notification system. But they are probably not the people who will receive an SMS at 2am. And if a C-something isn’t sitting in on your design meetings, they don’t want the notification system all that badly…and everyone in the large organization sees that. But also there’s the simple fact that large organizations have a retention bias toward employees who value small differences in status…we call the jockeying for small status differences “politics.” You don’t and can’t know the important details of the politics at play. And you are just hired help. They have long relationships and you don’t. Politics is the important point of your meetings. Opposing the project is a display of power. Criticizing it is one too. Championing it is not. They don’t want it and the c-suite hasn’t sold it to them. You are being paid to impose it upon them. Sure technically it might matter if the project succeeds. But what really matters is that you get paid. Good luck.
