Read my lips, if you want to grow in Nigerian setting you must play office politics

Which Yeye Lips be that?

NwaAmaikpe:

Yes you must ooo...


Either through eye service , gifts or bottom-power


If not..
You'd be more marginalized than the SouthEast in that office.

Politics is life

The bolded and Backstabbing is just what I hate in my life. My holy book said "a brother that sows discord among brethren is an abomination to God.

Office politics just like conventional politics is mandatory - everyone gets involved in it either knowingly or unknowingly. Meanwhile, only those who plays politics based on principle rather than expediency always laugh last. . . Even though, this route is always slow at the beginning and majority, including your uninformed superiors, will be against you at such early stage, but don't worry because you must surely laugh last. As the saying goes manipulators lose credibility diplomats gain it.

Those who play on principle has smartness as their chief weapon while those why play on expediency has perfidiousness (lie and treachery) as their chief weapon.

One major hallmark of all smart people is that they never tell lies but they can be dishonest sometimes. Every liar is a dishonest person but not all dishonest people are liars. . . Don't mistake diplomacy for lie.

Office politics is the reason why I have no friend in my workplace talk less of involvement in sexual relationship. It is so because I will not like to share the negativity of a workplace friend against another co-worker.

cyndyzuriks:
Negative politics can be destructive. Imagine if everyone actually screws over everyone just to get ahead, the workplace would be a mess, full of strife and hate. You must not play dirty in order to have a successful career.

The emboldened is actually what happens in most Nigerian companies! Dirty politics!

"they trample on another man, just to be elevated"-----2face idibia

My advice is: don't join them in office politics, but watch your back and be smart! Mind your own business and do your job diligently. This has helped me a lot in life

The bolded is a reliable safe haven for me. Office politics in our context(treachery, eye service and backstabbing) thrives on silence and ignorance. for me, you can play all you want, but if you bring it to my side, i will open your game such that even all your friends will steer clear.

Civil service is the headquarters of Office politics, a lot of eye service.
