If you dont have backing, be prepared to do all the dirty work, trial and error manual work, change roles when they find you like to suggest otherwise etc. And make you redundant via many ways using powerful mgt direction somehow or reorganisation. Of course, you may ask, there are still people who can work very long in company, the answer is because they have strong backing from mgt. The humans have all left, these people who are still there are the real negative force.
