Problems with some corporates is their reserved cultures. (OIL is the hero in this)that the supervisor is not the guy who can take decision. So you may be in good terms with him, but at the same time, he is more of whimp to stand by you, espically if you are not so poular , i.e not a suck up. I agree with Barbra above.

The boss is often powerless to help if the organizational culture is rigid. I have had the experience of a culture whose underlying reward system was based on seniority and popularity. No demonstration of skill or value could lead to either a promotion, assignment of tasks desired by the popular folks, or a change in title. (Everyone was an assistant -- which had the effect of impairing searches for better jobs elsewhere.) I have to dissent from this one.
