Yeah, I feel like that a lot.

1. Usually I've found it takes about 1 year to fully understand a significantly large organisation and how it works.

2. After a while, it stops mattering. I came in to do a job, to focus on building whatever it is you asked me to build, not follow the office growth strategy day to do.

I feel like a lot of places do this now as a part of "transparency", but it's not really transparent. Any questions they don't want to answer they'll use more jargon to dodge it.

It's kinda like sports. I'll go to a baseball game, have a good time in the crowd, enjoy myself, but if you start throwing stats and the team story at me I'm lost. Some people love following the "sport" of office politics and goings on, other don't.
