Ok, let’s talk work politics. Do any of you play them? I try not to get so caught up in it as I’ve seen a lot of bad things that become of it.

I try not to play the politics game, but you kind of have to if you want to move up in the company. I don't want to be stuck in the same place just because I didn't attend a few events

That’s what I’m saying! You have to drink the “kool-aid” in order to progress.

We're all being political in every instance where we collaborate with another human, it's part of being a social animal.

What is the particular type of political interaction that you're really asking about?

If you're talking about playing politics, do you mean creating false or disingenuous positions with the goal of getting what you want?

I totally agree. We are all political when we interact with one another.

We all play work politics whether we are conscious of it or not. It's innate to adapt to our environment. Corporate America is a political so it is what it is.

I do think we all play it once in our lifetime.

I stand clear away from it. Continue to be professional and fair across the board. Help as much as I can and be an active team player.

Go to work to work then go home keep to myself .

I try not to bring my life to work and vice versa. Thank you for your reply!

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
