I've seen this with the developer who hired me for my first position in a big Enterprise company.
It was difficult for him to jockey his responsibilities for maintaining older systems and getting access to work on the newer technology.
Despite his difficulties with English as a second language, he handled it deftly and, during a re-shuffle of responsibilities, made a deal to get transferred to a new position with more innovation work. But it took him a long time, and I saw many who did not have his political skill.
Looking back on it, I might have learned a thing or two about career "navigation" in large IT companies.
