Extremely, and not just in tech. Most people just don’t want to admit it because most people need to feel like they “earned” their money. The reality that many, even most in some companies, people get paid simply to maintain a social system is a troubling thought for a lot of people.

You can easily work for a decade at some companies and contribute absolutely nothing if you know how to play the politics.
