In as much as I do not like work/office drama and I try my best to stay away from it, but it definitely has its own advantages because I have seen people who were not qualified for an internal role in my office but nominated because they are part of office politics. What's your take on office politics? Have you or anyone you know ever benefitted from office politics before?

I hate to say it, but I am very much involved in the office politics around my department. I have to be. All of my coworkers who opt out of it and pretend they are above it get ignored or overlooked or told they aren't doing enough.

With all the benefits that comes with office politics, I am already contemplating in joining it, but I do not like how draining it could also get.

Definitely have seen others benefit. I don't care much for it.

I get you, office politics could be draining, and it is completely valid if you do not want to get yourself in it.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

Good amount of BA Directors around 60 or older that I know. Agencies probably aren’t thinking about it but they need to work on the next generation soon. Great time to elevate some Sr level people to Associate Directors.

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?
