Why do people pay you for thinking when they are not interested in your thoughts? And why on EARTH do they ask your for your opinion when they clearly do not want it. I neither see the business or common sense. Especially not the business one.
Unfortunately, for me, it is pushing all my wrong buttons.

I know that feeling. It’s very frustrating and then big corporate people wonder why they can’t keep employees.
THANK YOU for understanding. You hit spot on there.
