The departments are split so finely that I have to check who to ask 🚪

Mystery Names

At a big company, there are also departments and sections that you cannot understand just from hearing the name, like “Huh? What does that department do?”

So when I work with other teams inside the company, I get lost: “Who in which department should I share this with!?”

Half A Year

But if you work there for more than half a year, you slowly start to roughly understand which department does what kind of work.

Split Very Finely

Even inside a big company, the departments are split up incredibly finely.

Three Big Ones

Broadly there are 3, the sales department, the operations department and the development department, and I am in the operations department.

Split Again

To take the sales department as an easy example, even inside the sales department, it is split up very finely, like “sales group 1 for the ○○ industry” or “group 3”.

Different Contact

Even when the network cannot be used, the place we hand it to changes. If the fault is on the cable side it is this department, and if it is on the config side it is that department.

Follow The Way

At a company like this, rather than pushing through your own way, people who can honestly trace the way that is already decided seem to be doing better.
