I recently joined Microsoft and see there is lot of internal politics ..i am not sure about all teams.but only my team

Managers are assigning good works to people who are close to them or favourite rather than good people ...is it true in all teams or only in my team..also it's not my individual opinion evryone gossiping the same in my team

I can safely that that is not the case with the team I work in. Maybe you got unlucky with your first team :( However, there are definitely many teams in Microsoft that value merit over all else. My advice would be to make as many connections as possible and then try to switch internally if things don’t get better. Hope this helps!
