Work & Career - Is this the reality

Problems, issues always there & i get a feeling of this how the world works atleast the 'corporate' world that i was keen to be a part of.
People just cant' keep things simple, do their work & get out. They want to make other's life miserable by which they feel that their life will be better.
People need to act in a way which they are totally unlike themselves ( Being Pseudo). Designations are of prime importance rather than the actual person, respect a person for the position rather than the person is the norm.
Showing supremecy is a very important thing, else you are not considered important or you are taken for granted.
At the initial part in your career we run behind the 'CTC', the brand of the company & keep running behind it for quite sometime.After a point where you are a part of the senior management, trying to please others, trying to be right but cannot be as your 'competition' will do better for some time if you take that path which others do not want & a lot more things.

Does this mean all your life in your career you can never find solace in the place where you earn your bread & butter? I dont know but i am sure there are places where people enjoy working (atleast i'm enjoying my work right now & also in my prev 3 jobs, i've had great colleagues & good immediate bosses) but i've seen my peers & also my good friends ( who are much senior to me) really not happy with what they are doing.

Being a part of the senior management was fun, even today i'm sure it is & has its own plus points but i only realised that there is another side to it too. Good that i atleast got to see at in the inital part of my career, i now know for sure 'ALL THE GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD'.

I saw the movie corporate & i think this movie relates a lot to reality of the corporate world but i'm sure there are atleast 10 - 15% organisation who are unlike that & are quite ideal in theor way of work.
