At some point you have to decide if the business deserves your effort, and if it were me I would've decided no and walked away long before this guy did.

to put it more succinctly: There are a lot of business I can help be successful, fuck spending my time doing it for this sort of culture.

That's a reasonable attitude to have. Broadly, it's much easier to get promoted by joining another company anyhow.

However. The higher up in the power structure you get the less able you will be to avoid politics if you want to be effective in your role. This is true, even in technical leadership.

And with just a tiny bit of effort in corporate politics your technical (or whatever you aim for) impact can become so much larger.
