I fully agree with this comment, and should clarify that I don’t mean one should ignore the environment they’re in and just expect the org to magically bend to their will.

But I’ve worked with two very different types of folks:

1. Those who understand the game, hate it, but do their best to work within it.

2. Those who love, embrace, perpetuate the most problematic elements of said game.

To me, playing the game is the latter.

Operating within the game is the former.

There are some lines I’ll never cross. But that doesn’t mean I won’t work within a challenging environment when necessary.
