Tale as old as time. At the end of the day, Walmart or AT&T or Disney or JPMorgan or Pfizer or Raytheon or Google are all engineered to make choices that increase their market power not reduce it. Anyone or group within these orgs even hinting at decisions that imply loss of market power, will be marginalized and pushed out. You can argue talking about it is necessary, and as long as they need your skill and expertise, the corporate robots are programmed to nod their heads and act as if they care. They will bribe you with goodies you can't get anywhere else, overload your surroundings with rituals of conspicuous luxury and conspicuous leisure, fund your conferences and side projects where you can feel important, build a golden cage around you, all the while extracting whatever they can. Even circus lions are allowed to roar, but they are still circus lions. Moral of the story is don't work for a corporation if you value integrity and your mental health. Large systems, like a Hurricane, require a whole lot of activity to be kept alive but don't mistake activity for control of the path of the hurricane. Nothing is controlling the path. As these complex dynamic systems get larger and larger they will collapse by themselves as contradictions accumulate.
