Taboo Topics: Talking Politics in the Office
| |
| Conventional wisdom says not to talk about sex, politics and religion in the office.

Workplace Etiquette: The Political Savvy Individual
| |
| At one time, it was assumed that office politics were played primarily by supervisors and managers who were attempting to climb the ladder of success, and executives who were still either climbing or trying to maintain.

Two Views Of America's Future
| |
| Believe it or not, I never cared much for politics. It always seemed like the political machinations of running the country were happening someplace far away, that people who cared deeply about such things were "on it," and that there wasn't much a single person could do to change things, anyway.

Political Savvy - What you can do!
| |
| When office politics and political savvy are mentioned, many think of selfish, deceitful, deceptive, sneaky, conniving individuals who are doing things like:
-- Snitching to management
-- Faking a romantic involvement
-- Lying or covering the truth
-- Playing dishonest games
-- Discounting another's opinion or idea
-- Back stabbing
True, there are people who do exhibit these behaviors. The person who practices such devious politics does so at considerable risk. Practicing unsavory office politics may lead to being unwanted, in dead-end jobs, fired, sued or even punched in the face. However, to ignore office politics is to ignore those underlying forces that account for the differences in success and cooperation with coworkers, your supervisor and management. |
