It really depends on your situation / perspective.
Some places the situation could be untenable for you, either because you just can't handle it, or because there are real outcomes that are pretty negative for you (such as the guy who posted recently that his boss refused to meet with him).
Other times maybe it is time to realize that not everything is easily measured metrics or technical skill and so forth.
I've worked with a lot of younger guys fresh out of school and their approach is very academic where they really enjoyed the feedback / praise / clear pecking order of things like grades. Very good grades always rewarded them and they were told exactly how to get them. Then they entered the world where things were far less clear. Some really struggled when they felt like they were passed over for someone they thought were of lesser skills than them.
Sometimes they were right that the other person wasn't very good at their job, other times they simply didn't appreciate the other aspects that went into that job that aren't easily measured and the fact that the other guy's code or work that wasn't as academically "better" really wasn't part of the equation... as much as they wanted someone who could talk to customers, or get along with coworkers, or something like that.
