I’m new to my company and I’m already seeing the undercurrents of office politics. I want to focus on doing my job, but sometimes it feels like I have to play games just to stay in the loop. How do you manage office politics without letting it drain you or make you feel like you have to compromise your values?

Not sure if this relates but I have ASD and find it hard to notice when someone is playing office politics or not, I only find out after the fact and end up more confused, HR people are the worst for it so nice to you inside the walls but outside not even a hello, so I feel your pain I would much rather people would just be themselves in the office, we need more people like you 😁
