All energy spent on trying to get through bureaucracy and get something done in a large company structure, is wasted energy. You get past the bureaucratic system by learning what the others know and then solve it yourself.
Bureaucratic systems are so evil that it's built into them that doing things their way is ridiculously complicated, but trying to make things easier by going outside the system and taking a shortcut, is even harder.
Which means the easiest and most efficient solution in a complicated slow organization will always be to do it the complicated and slow way. Even the most efficient person will see value in following the slow system, because he'll get the most out of it that way.
Which means big companies eat up all efficiency and goodwill of efficient innovative people to feed itself. In the end, all we're doing will be talking to tech support all day, but no new tech will be made.
Trying to improve an inefficiency in a large complicated organization will be met with severe bureaucratic punishment, and the innovator will forever remember that it's not worth it.
