We all hate the game, but you can’t escape it; either we play or get played. Yes, this is office politics we are talking about.
Despite how much you love your job, your co-workers can make your workplace into a nightmare and this can hamper your work. Politics at work also hampers productivity and the job you were enjoying a month back, can become a mundane, painful task for you.
Your co-workers can take your ‘easy going attitude’ for granted and that’s when the downfall begins. Office politics can involve your co-workers taking away your credit, stealing your thunder in front of the boss, stealing your ideas, agreeing to whatever your boss is saying (even when he/she is wrong), etc.
People who steer clear of office politics are the well-seasoned ones. And office politics has the potential to ruin someone’s career too.
So, if you don’t want to get played, here are few tips on how to handle politics in offices.
