The Ruling Clique

The office -- just like in high school -- is 
usually dominated by a ruling clique.  The 
members of this group support each other; their 
solidarity can be quite remarkable.

At first glance, the employees in the top clique 
may look like the regular rank-and-file.  There 
will always be  few senior staffers, but they are 
not necessarily -- even unlikely -- to be big 
bosses.

Nevertheless, if you run afoul of the ruling 
clique, and you are in big trouble.  These 
individuals are quite likely to be "above the 
law" , with the boss always on their side.  Watch 
out!
