You can start a little mom-and-pop store and get plenty of politics. No surprise a billion(s)-dollar company has politics. It's everywhere. I'm not going to claim that it's their openness that is allowing us to see it here, but in some companies it spills out in the open, in others it stays within the family, but there's always politics!

Yes but when the politics goes about destroying the company you have a real problem.

See Apple in the 90's for instance.

Problems like being the company with the highest market cap in history for 13 years running!

No, Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to be bailed out by Microsoft in the 90's.
