turf war
This term carries a strong connotation of territoriality and competitiveness, often implying a petty or aggressive struggle for power rather than a professional disagreement. It is frequently used in corporate, political, or bureaucratic settings to describe internal conflicts where the primary goal is the preservation of status or authority.
While the term originates from gang violence and physical territory, in modern professional contexts it is used metaphorically. It suggests a zero-sum game where one party's gain in influence is perceived as another's loss, often leading to inefficiency or dysfunction within an organization.
