Except your best talent may have access to the most opportunities

Large enterprises don't recognize or even want "best talent"... they want replaceable resources that can be reorg'd with little thought.
True. Walmart puts up a quote in their store breakrooms that goes something like "Don't be creative, follow the procedures". While that's aimed at retail workers, not the people in tech centers, it was interesting to see actually turned into a poster with Sam Walton's face on it. Suspect that it permeates the culture of the company.
