How To Survive Office Politics

Just when you thought the political season was over, the office political climate is year 'round. And there are no white nights or any other color knights to come in with their knowledge and political savvyness to rescue you. How do you survive the wonderful work world of politicians? How can you learn to navigate the waters without stirring the pot that it creates a bad enrviornment for you to succeed? I've been there a time or two and I'm sure you have been, too. You may even be dealing with your own politics, as we speak. If so, I'd love to hear about the politics you're dealing with. Most of us can relate to dealing with having to appear a certain way and perform in a certain manner to accomplish our career goals, to some degree that would be considered politics. It's the mere fact that you have to do these things in order to get somewhere. Well, it's the somewhere "behavior" that I'm writing about today. The world ain't fair and we've got to learn to play the game or get played by the game. Should that be the message? Office politics, the boss, the employee, and even the customer. No one is immune to politics, of one sort or another.
