Eh, sorry Em, but I work in a corporation (One of the good ones), and it's still a mess. You survive the system from within- you don't attempt to change it, least not in the lower levels. Peeps jobs are perpetually on the line at higher levels, and this promotes a climate of panic- not good for 'enlightenment' of any kind.

The metaphore in Angel for me is surviving the establishment, and keeping your inner self intact.
