Does office politics spice up ur life ?

One day, my project manager.. call her as Ms J, came up to us and started whining about how the senior manager was being difficult.



" You know ah, that senior manager Mr X ... it seems he is buddy with the VP. So, all our proposals will go down the drain if I we do not have him on our side. Then the other lady manager Mrs Y personally knows the President. Mrs Y and Mr X cant see eye-to-eye most of the time. Thats why I had to pick sides... so hard to work in this office"



Office politics is part and parcel of life. Over the years, I have come to accept that as a fact of life. I dont particularly enjoy it, but rather tolerate it.



Ms J actually wanted to sound like she is complaining about how hard her job is to get everyone from different to agree. But her facial expression betrayed her. She was obviously very excited about all this. Office politics seems to spice up her life somehow - and provide adrenaline to her system.

So ... do you enjoy office politics ?
