/Sounds like "GREE" (as in "greet") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
Political scheming and dirty maneuvering to grab power or positions. In Mexico, grilla describes the shady side of office and government politics: connections, favors, and backstabbing rather than merit. If there is grilla in your workplace, people get promoted by who they know, not what they can do.
“That company is pure politics, you don't move up by talent but by how much you play the game.”
“The scheming in the union is worse than in congress.”
