How was your Tuesday guys? Pretty good huh? Well I hope everyone had an awesome Tuesday. Well today I wanted to share with you guys about politics, office politics. Office politics also known as workplace politics or organizational politics. Hurmmmm sounds good? Its actually a bad idea to involve in one.
Let me tell you my experience about office politics. When I was doing my internship (I don't want to reveal where) most of my colleague doesn't like our beloved boss. So they keep talking behind her and you know, as intern you just listen. Because of those conversation that I heard, I respect her less. Most of the things are actually true. She was kinda, "jerk". So long story short, I bashed on family day because of her mouth that is just so........ I rather not say it here. So I tell her to fuck herself (figuratively of course). Next thing I know I received letter from 'board' saying I'm not suitable to work with them. Guess what, those people that were talking badly about her was stabbing me from behind. Keep saying bad stuff about her, but then turn around they became another person. So from there, I knew that I was trapped in office politics.
So in other words, office politics is bad choice to involve in. Here are some tips so you don't get involve in office politics
- Never ever open personal conversation to your colleague. Come at 9 a.m and do your work. Why? Let say you just join a company for 2 weeks, how can you trust someone you know for 2 weeks? Never trust people too easy. They might use your personal matter to attack you. Or worse, they tell to another colleague.
- Never be a joker. Why? This is obvious. workplace is place to work. Your manager doesn't hire a clown to entertain the whole office. Just focus on your work. Second thing is, you can't get angry when you are a joker? tell me which clown in the world gets angry?
- Always stay on track. Why? The 'seniors' might say, "Lets go out and smoke, our boss wouldn't know". Phewwww you gotta stay out from these people. They are the one who gonna get you fired. The 'seniors' are usually the one who have two faces. Its better not to against any company rules.
- Never have relationship with your colleague. Why? Its dangerous to date your colleague. You can't predict that you won't fight. You know, boyfriend and girlfriend stuff. You can never avoid fight. Is better to stay out of the relationship radar.
- Just listen, never judge. Why? This is where things always go wrong. Most people will judge (that includes me) when they listen. This is absolutely wrong at all level. Never judge people for things that doesn't have any proof .
I hope you guys won't fall for this. This is just opinion based article. Has no relationship with academic writing. Anyway, Thank you for reading (if any) HAHAHAHAH!
That is all for today.
Stay tuned for more cool stories.
This is me, bukan perfeksi.
