“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion…”
-Dale Carnegie, American author

Whether you’re an entry level employee or a CEO, young or old, earning $500K or $30K, in a large firm or small one, you will likely come across office politics directly or indirectly at some point in your career. Unfortunately, office politics is yet another important aspect of the “real world” that isn’t taught in school. Don’t worry though, that’s where we come in!

Why a site like this?

Office politics generally deals with issues that most people would rather sweep under the rug. There are some of us, however, who believe in open and honest communication and are happy to ask the tough questions. If you’re in a difficult situation, chances are that someone has experienced something similar before and we’d like to discuss it together!

Office politics is all about relationships, so the website has been organized to present the different people you typically interact with internally (HR, subordinates, peers and managers) and externally (clients).

Who are we?

We have put together a team of diverse authors to share their unique insight and experience with you. We will also be having guest posts from some of our mentors and people with specific industry experience in this area.

While some websites discuss the “ideal” workplace, we hope to share practical tricks and tips for navigating the challenging world of office politics. You may be on the sidelines, but you’re always in the game!
