As a bolshie type myself, very quick to moan at higher-ups, I think we need to be realistic that often we grunts don't have the big picture (especially the politics) and unfortunately that won't stop somebody lowdown move from merely internal letting off steam to anonymous public borderline slander.
There is Glassdoor etc though for people who want to have their say; that all these platforms will be gamed and manipulated is a given.
Nah, nah, nah. Let me help you there. You don't have the big picture because you either haven't asked, or it hasn't been shared with you. If you ask, and you still don't have it, it's being intentionally hidden, or the person doesn't know/can't articulate the connection. One of these is a problem for the org. The other is potentially structurally beneficial for the org, but a massive problem for you. Feel free to guess which is which. I leave it as an exercise to the student.
