It all makes sense.
However, can one also not work as a janitor or a cleaner having access to more or less everywhere and being thus able to form a fuzzy form of an understanding of how the company functions as a whole even though one is not aware of the specifics of any given level or hierarchy that compromise the company in question?
There must exist ways to pass the hierarchical structure if one is willing to break, bend, redirect or pass the rules that the structure uses for showing and exercising rank. Who knows the company better - the clerk with a limited view or the janitor with a 360 degree access to all over the place?
It is all about positioning your effort.
No?
