Office Politics - The Worst Fear in Your Working Life

So when you just graduated from university/college and looking forward to your first job, everything was doing great - your boss is nice, Supervisor and colleagues are helpful and friendly, but your worst fear comes true when you are caught in one of the most common problem which is office politics.

It is unfortunate but do not worry, because there are secrets to keeping yourself separate from office politics.

The most common problem that causes one to be involved in office politics is gossip. It can be the most powerful tool to destroy one's reputation at work place and at the same time provoke problems. If your colleagues are gossiping about a Supervisor or other colleagues, do not be part of the spreading the gossip. Keep your distance and steer away from it. If the gossip-monger insist of telling you and you do not want to offend the colleague, just pretend that you are listening to it, but never spread it to another colleague. Leave it where you hear it from the gossip-monger.

Another common problem in office politics is taking sides - whose side are you on? How you solve this problem is by being neutral. This may sound simple and ridiculous at the same time but it is not. By keeping yourself neutral, it will give you the freedom and opportunity to work with both groups (or more!) who are against each other in the office. There might be a period of setback as those involved in the politic game might suspect you for being a spy and give you a hard time, but do not give in to the pressure. Be yourself and do your work appropriately instead of meddling in the office politics which may be too much for you.

Why waste time on office politics when you can spend your time working on your own career advancement? Be smart in keeping your work performance away from office politics and get more tips and advices on office politics from Career Planning 101.

عن الطالب

أشهد لمعلمي أنه أكثر أهل الارض علما .. كما أشهد له أنه أعلاهم خلقا .. و أنه لا يتكبر عن الاعتراف بجهله اذا ما صدمه أمر خارج معرفته .. و الحق أن معلمي كلما اهتز يقينه تجاه أمر أمرني بالتوجه لصاحب علم لأحصل منه ما التبس عليه .. و لكن أشهد أن معلمي هذه المرة قد بدأ يجانب الخرف .. أي امرأة هذه الذي أمرني بالسعي اليها .. منذ متي و القول الثقيل و العلم البليغ يؤخذ عن المرأة .. و أي امرأة .. انني كلما سرت في سهل او قطعت وادي بحثا عنها أعلنوا انها صاحبة علة في عقلها .. و أنها تعكف كل صباح على جزع شجرة قديم قبل ان تبدأ يومها .. اي تلف في رأسها .. و اي قرار هذا الذي اتخذه معلمي .. ايكون الهرم قد بدأ زحفه بمخه .. هاأنذا أطيع عالم عجوز و أطلب لقاء سيدة تصاحب شجرة .. و لقد مضت الايام تلو الايام أشق مسالك الكون الي هذه الارض التي تسكنها العجوز .. و كلما أثناني عقلي عن السير أتذكر حكمة معلمي و النور الذي أودعه الرب فيه فأعترف بأني لم أخسر قط من طاعتي له .. لأري ما وراء العجوز

و عند الوادي الذي طابق وصف معلمي توقفت .. قال ان اراد الرب بك خيرا ستنزل بوادي أهله مطمئنون و هالات النور على جباههم و ستري أثر عبادة الرب على وجوههم و لن يجد صدرك اي ضيق طالما انت بينهم .. فاذا وصلت للوادي فاسأل عن السيدة صاحبة الجذع العتيد .. و أنصت لأراذلهم فيم يقولون عنها .. و اسعي اليها .. و ان اراد بك الرب خيرا بعد هذا نهلت منها .. و كان أهل الوادي كما أخبر معلمي بلا زيادة أو نقص .. و وخزني الفضول أن أسأل أي عالم يعيش بينكم جعل حالكم على ما يصبو عليه أهل الورع و الصوامع .. همسوا بأن فيهم سيدة تعكف على جذع شجرة كل صباح هي من جعلها الرب السبب فيما هم فيه .. فراودني أنها ربما كانت ساحرة و لكنها صبت مقدرتها في الخير .. ايريد بي معلمي ان انهل من خزعبلات الوادي .. ثم انني بحثت عن أراذل الوادي فبعد المشقة في العثور عليهم سخروا منها قائلين انها رغم مرور السنون و ضعضعة صحتها لاتزال على ضلالها القديم .. أسروا لي أنها ليست كما يدعي الوادي على أي شئ من الصلاح .. انما هي صاحبة قلب مصبوب .. قلب شغف حبا برجل هجرها ربما نفر منها .. و هي تنتظر عودة المحبوب لتزاول حياتها الحيوانية التي تشتهي .. بل و حثوني على ان اراودها عن نفسها لعلها تقنع بي و تنسي ضلالها القديم .. قلت تالله لولا ان معلمي أمر لنكصت عائدا

و طلعت الشمس بعد ان استرحت من عناء السفر .. قمت من نومي عازما على لقاءها .. انه اليوم لا ريب .. أديت الصلاة للرب و استوقفت احد أهل الوادي المطمئنين لأسأله طريقها .. أشار و وصف حتي أوفي .. كانت تسكن أعلي الربوع .. على القمة و الحافة .. عندما ينتهي العمران و ينقطع الأناس و تلوح لي شجرة وارفة جذعها عتيد و كوخ يخال اليك انه مهجور و هو عمران بقلب امرأة .. سأجد سيدة عجوز اذا رأيتها ستود لو تلقي برأسك المتعب على صدرها الذي هدلته الأيام .. تتبعت الوصف بالحذافير .. و عند قمة السفح المنشود فاح عبير الليمون في الأفق .. وصلت .. و السيدة كانت تولي للوادي ظهرها .. و قدحين من الليمون امامها .. ألقيت سلام أهل الاسلام عليها .. ردت بلا التفات .. كانت الشمس قد أراقت نورها المتوهج على الأعالي و الأسافل .. و كانت الطيور قد شرعت في التغريد و كأنما حفل بهيج في خلل أغصان الشجر .. لم تلتفت .. فخطوت حيث تولي وجهها .. فتهللت لرؤيتي .. و كأنما تنتظر مقدمي .. و الحق أن اطمئنان اهل الوادي كلهم كبيرهم و صغيرهم لا يضاهي ما يرتسم عليها من هدأة و سكون .. و الحق ان في تبسمها الي ما شرح صدري الي جلوس امامها في اقبال .. و رغم وجهها الذي لم يخفي عمرها فانها تجلس في استقامة يتململ منها الشاب الفتي .. ربتت على كتفي في حنان صادق .. و قامت في بطء .. الي كوخها هرعت و لثوان غابت و قد جلبت معها قدح ليمون بارد و دعتني للشراب .. و طيلة الوقت لا تزايلها بسمتها .. ثم سألتني من اين جئت و ماذا تستطيع من اجلي .. قلت انني طالب علم .. أتيت من سفر أيام .. و قالت ماذا تتعلم .. قلت أصل الحرف و رسمه .. و منشأ الكلم و مقصده .. و ما يحب الرب و يكره .. الأنبياء و قصصهم .. و الصالحون و عبرهم .. فربتت على كتفي ثانية في حفاء و كأنني ابن رحمها الذي طلب العلم .. ثم سألتها ما لحالها .. قالت بين تبسمها

" يا بني الحبيب ان لي حكاية طويلة .. في سالف الزمن عندما كنت فتاة بجيد يطيح عقول الرجال تزوجت من رجل لا يري أبعد من التراب شئ .. و تشاركنا في التراب .. فكنا مضرب المثل فيما يبغض الرب .. حتي أتي رجل فينا يدعي أنه نبي .. حضر من أور .. أور التي تجاور نهر الفرات .. و مكث فينا مليا .. أذاب قلوبنا بكلامه عن الخالق ذو الجلال .. و صحا يوما و قد عزم على المضي .. فتكالبنا عليه و زوجي .. و حاولنا ما اوتينا ان نبقيه .. الا انه قال ان الرب أراد به الرحيل .. و أرشدنا الي طريق الرب و رحل .. لبثت و زوجي متفكرين .. حتي قر الرأي على أن يرحل زوجي طالبا علم الرب "

قلت " و رحل و تركك

قالت في بشر

" ما كان ينبغي له أن يقعد .. لن يأتي علم الرب بالراحة و الكسل .. ان النبي الذي جاء فينا كان يسافر من ارض الي ارض .. فسمعنا أنه راح الي القدس ثم الحجاز ثم مصر

قلت " و تركك

قالت " ما كان ينبغي له ان يستقر الي جانبي .. لابد ان يجني علم الرب .. فبه ننجي في الدار الآخرة

قلت " و متي سيعود

قالت " أمرته ألا يعود الا اذا اطمأن أن معه ما ينجينا من خطوب الرب .. و وعدني أنه متي وصل للقدر الذي ينجينا سيعود عند انبلاج الفجر تحت جذع هذه الشجرة و سيحكي لي عن رحلته من أجل الرب وهو يتناول من قدح ليمون

قلت " و متي رحل عنك

قالت " عندما كان شعري فاحم السواد

قلت " و ماذا تفعلين في انتظارك

قالت " عندما يشق النور السماء أهبط للعمل .. فأنا أعلم الصغار نطق الحرف و كتابته .. و عندما يسدل الظلام ستاره على الدنيا أدعو الرب أن يوفق المحبوب في طلبه

صمتت ثوان ثم قالت

" و الآن ماذا كنت تريد مني يا ولدي الحبيب

قمت على قدمي و وقفت .. و رأسي تدور .. حملقت فيها قليلا .. و قلت " والله ما أريد أكثر من هذا " .. ثم ودعتها في رقة و قبلت رأسها الأشيب .. و طلبت منها أن تدعو لي .. و انصرفت و رأسي مازال يدور .. لقد صدق معلمي فيما قال .. حمدت الرب على أنني رأيتها و سمعتها .. و امتنانا لمعلمي فكرت أن أجلب معي هدية له و أنا عائد .. فتذكرت شغفه بشراب الليمون

Faith in Barack Obama Or Your Politicians?

Do Politicians Lie or Miss Lead or Over States the Facts?

Headline: Politics and Lies - Why Politicians Lie

Politicians lie because the public wants to be lied to

The reasons politicians lie is because the public doesn't want to hear the truth. People want to hear what they want to hear. When two candidates are running and one of them tells the truth and the other says what the public wants to hear, the one who says what the public wants to hear wins the election. Thus, and there are exceptions to this, if you want to win an election, you better start lying, because the guy who's telling you the truth doesn't have a chance.

The above is an excerpt from perkel.com/politics/lies.htm

What Team Are You On? Are You Willingly To Do Anything To Win?

Many people today are looking for savior other than Christ. It seem there are some people such as my friend Eleanor from Canada who thinks that Barack Obama is the one who will turn everything around in America.

The problem we have, is that we don't have any money and most of our products that we used are being produce overseas. Coming into office trying to produce jobs without a natural product to produce to exchange with other countries is a recipe for disaster. Building roads and bridges and schools and nuclear plants is all good. But we don't have the funds. We are living a life of one of a false sense of prosperity. Everyone including our government seems to be maxed out on all of their credit cards.

Next year the forecast is calling for a deep recession or depression. The problem with the United States is trying to maintain a static that cannot be maintained. And Barack Obama is not going to change that. The way that it can be change is to confess the obvious and that is we cannot not borrow our way out of the crisis. We have to learn to live with less.

We have to realize that our bar is set too high. Our industry is a prime example they want a bail out package like the banks. A man working at GM makes 70 dollars an hour now compare that to China who makes say 70 dollars a day. So they can make better cars for less keep most of the money and sell it in the U.S. comparable to the U.S. cars.

A lot of people think Obama will change this country and he probably will but to what. Until they start telling the American people the hard honest truth I don't see a turn around. Spending what we don't have won't last, California is an example.

That is why our borders stay open for so long. It was to help off set the higher labor rate for companies in the U.S. Both the Democrats and Republicans were in on it just like our Social Security and medicare problem. Why do America elect the say people to office every year knowing full well that they are tapping in to their hard earn funds so they can take care of some special interest group of theirs?

Listen I can go on and on. I like to deal in reality. And for me the reality is the American people are spoiled and they have been blinded by politicians for years. For me it is like being played. All of them up there knows what is going on. The question is when will they tell the American people the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
