Office Politics

Politics in the office are getting from bad to worse since the day my boss left. I can see many of them trying to gain favoritism with my new boss who was previously the deputy head of the department. Some are even self-declaring their importance in the department. I know that we are currently pretty short-handed since another senior manager is also leaving next week but there is no reason for you to think that the company cannot live without you and you are super important. Like I mentioned in my earlier blogs, I hope all the people that Alicia has fostered can live up to her expectations and continue the legacy she left behind. We have to continue to look after the department she took 4 years to build. We need to ensure that it maintains the standard in the company. This is not the time to fight and kill one another. We should help one another to survive through this tough period. You may not even benefit even if you can get rid of your enemy. I know people play politics or network just so that they can climb the corporate ladder faster. But I do hope that even if you wanna play politics, do it with integrity. Don't ever let people look down on you and loose the respect people have for you.
