I disagree with some nuance, but generally agree.

For large, multi-geography firms, I want to know and work WHERE the central pockets of power are located.

This became at a game at one of my old workplaces.

The company was in the business of buying up smaller companies, and naturally every manager wanted to stay a manager. So there was like 8 layers of management.

If we asked for money, time or resources we would take guesses as to how far up the chain it would get before it got rejected.

And it SO often got rejected, because a random manager was feeling less important and wanted to assert their power they used to have.
