The Gabriel Club by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya

'The only weapons we have are time, ingenuity and patience, he'd said; they have everything else. We live inside their cage, the bars are invisible, they hold the keys to all gates. But time is a powerful antidote to oppression, and out ingenuity more than matches theirs. We know how to play their game, we know when to take advantage of them and when to draw back, and we can keep them constantly guessing. The joker in the pack is patience, that is the rogue that will determine who wins out in the end.' Sounds just like my workplace to me at least?
