Grinds my gears! - integrated

So audience what really grinds my gears this week is integrated agencies (not all but most).

• First of all office politics stopping me from doing a good job.
  Why is it that I need massage every departments ego to get stuff done.
• Offline team vs. online team and budget sharing
  Get it together people! Have one team on it come up with some good ideas then flesh it out.

Cross dept costing etc. Blah blah blah. What the hell! I am pretty sure this is why some companies are spanking money away.

Now this may seem like I am attacking integrated companies but read on as I have an important question to ask all people that have experienced this type of company politics before.

When did it become OK to compromise good work to meet targets? When was more important to make the numbers balance than making a name for yourself in the industry(company or individual).

This is the problem I have with a lot of so called "integrated" agencies, now this could be a management thing or it might not be I'm not sure, all I know is that this is how you wont get the best out of your company.
