How Do You Deal With Workplace Politics?

[Heatman]

This is the best approach. Do your work and leave. Don't give ears to side talks. Some of those power hungry people would come and tell you what you are missing by not joining their faction. I just tell them I am okay with the things I am already benefitting.

Seriously from my experience with working for so many years, I've come to find out that it's the best way for you to do your work in any kind of organisation and avoid any kind of politics that is being played there. Go home and rest and still come back tomorrow and do your work. You are going to last in that company for a long time.

Personally for me if the discussion on politics is something that is healthy and I believe that is going to be beneficial for me in that setting, I am sure going to be involved in it but I will always bow out from it when it becomes intense.

Workplace politics is a very common kind of issue in many places. if you work at a place, then you may encounter people who might be toxic. We must understand that this is a really common problem in many such kind of places. So, when it comes to workplace politics, how do you deal with it?

If I have any business organisation I am operating , I will always make rules and regulation concerning this that politics should only be discussed on neutral ground. A lot of people are taking politics look like a catalyst that could speed up the rate of problem and hatred in organisation most especially when other people are having different points of view from each other entirely.

Politics is always a very dirty game in my country no matter where it is being carried out. It doesn't matter if it's in the government or at workplace which is why I try as much as possible to avoid being involved in it because it's something that I know is going to always trouble my conscience and that is going to make me restless.

A lot of people have actually lost their job as a result of being involved in dirty politics in their workplace which ended up not being in their favour and they had to pay the price without getting any assurances for those they were supporting.

Well, this is because many of the co-workers may usually get tired of them and they never prefer to have such kind of people at workplace who engage in politics. If a person is proving to be bad for workplace, then employees may unite against him. He may lose his job, as the chances of losing the job are quite high under such circumstances.
