Politics Player

I do not like office politics. The backstabbing, mind playing, names brought up for bad discussion, top guy leg polishing and etc is not really my cuppa of tea. I don't mind simple and little bit of talking discussion here and there for yourself and your team. Purposes of bringing up your profile, image of the team, being the one to look at from the management because of your effort and knowledge, blank chatting of teammates for the purposes of fun and humour minus the sensitive issue of course, joking around with office collegues to raise the morale of fellow employees and perhaps more as long they serve a positive purpose.


They are people who are grown and groomed or shaped by conditions they themselves are not aware of, they backstabs and politics around naturally. They do not feel anything nor they felt they did anything wrong. They are just naturally shaped to be that way, politic players, whether they are employees, co-workers, businessman, politicians, neighbours and etc, and they themselve sometimes are not aware that they are political players.


It is just that i hate it when i am involved in the feud or in the middle of it. I am a simple guy who wishs nothing more than having a good environment to work in. A place whereby, you can focus and concentrate my energy onto something more important, to excel in my job and task in hand. But life is not a garden of roses, rather a garden of roses and thorns. You have to be smart and be aware of the surrounding, be aware of thorns and look for the rose. Not by looking for the rose and neglecting the thorns. You will be hurt and you will be injured, mentally especially if you are not a politics player. Be smart, and be aware, there are devils out there. Lots of it, in fact!


I think with my experience and exposure in the corporate world, business world and the society, i am able to spot these players effectively. You have to be aware and play the game correctly even though you may not like it, but its a fact of life. If you ignore it, you will suffer from it sooner than later, and if you are aware of it and decided to play it safely and correctly, maybe you will excel with it. I implore you to be aware of it. Coz there are worms and devils out there who dresses Prada and Gucci or Armani suits and they smile at you innocently and stabs behind you when you are not around.
