What would you do if you are good in every aspect of your job, better than everyone in the same position, have a great work ethic, but cannot succeed due to corporate politics - ie, you are not the boss' pet?

Start sending out resumes. Unfortunately it happens. You can sit it out and hope that boss isn't around long, or you can go somewhere else, where you are hopefully appreciated for your hard work.

and my penchant for answering a question with a question appears.... if such a system is entrenched there, do you realy want to be a part of it??? do your job for those it benefits, ignore them, it will come back to haunt them, you just cover yer ass and start enjoying what you do, if you don't enjoy it, then why are you there in the first place???

Personally, I would realize that I am not better than everyone at every aspect of my job. Obviously some have learned to play the corporate game better than me. I've been in the corporate world for 25 years, part of succeeding is learning how to play that game. Teamwork and attitude are way more important than technical skills. Make sure you take a close look at how things look from your boss's point of view.

Sounds like my life. I just shut my mouth and do my job. I gave up arguing and proving I'm right and others are wrong. It didn't get me anywhere and it didn't win me friends.
