Life is simple guys, as long as you work for someone else you follow and support their rules & policies. That someone else pays all the bills for the company you work for. Their customers are not you customers. If you are unhappy with your current company you can do 3 simple things:
1. Accept it for what it is and go on about your responsibilities and stop grousing about it - you'll be happier.
2. Constructively work to change it - this can be fun to watch things you had an input into make a difference. That behind the back stuff never works.
3. If you can't do 1 or 3, simply leave, but remember there is no utopia.
