Yes because at work only a few people take part in the games (those with allocation control over a budget at least 50 times their own salary say). Everyone else is like slaves fighting over who gets to be head slave.
Maybe you're not aware of it or it's an issue outside of the US but everyone does it to some extent even if it's an act of self defense. And the fight to head slave that you mention is part of the games itself. Do you really get there without politics of some sort?
