I've had more jobs than I care to admit and I think one of if not the primary reason is my total reluctance to conform to the politics of office behavior. I don't kiss ass, I don't keep quiet and I do my job faster than most, which has quite often led to questioning my methods, but always been found to be legitimately done and done well.
However, I've learned that it doesn't matter how well you do a job, it's how well the management accepts you. That doesn't mean one should slack off as long as they kiss ass, but finding a balance is paramount.
There will also be times and jobs where it truly doesn't matter what you know, but whom; if you work someplace where management and certain employes are offsite friends and you aren't and there's cutbacks...guess who goes first.
