I identified with this story quite a bit. I had a similar experience at a cut-throat big name tech company. It's extremely political and the business has to run extremely sharp to succeed. Hence the hightened politics and management involvement at that level. You did a great job with the writing! It was fun to read, and interesting to hear the story. Best of luck in the future
