Hey Shyamila,
What happened to you, yar... you are asking very tough questions. I think the problem is with the organization or with you. I want to know which management level you are in - junior, middle, or senior.
Thanks,

Hi,
In a lighter vein, I recommend the 3-monkey policy or the Kamaraj plan - will see tomorrow. When these are brought to HR each day, the focus will be diverted for the day, and at the end of it all, you know it is petty... yes, a shrewd HR person should be able to read minds and seriousness and nip it in the bud! A watch on sources of these political issue creators should be on the tab... message sent across during the one-to-ones!!! This has worked most of the time.

Hi!
I have been thinking about such things because most of my friends/seniors end up facing such issues in their respective organizations. I am posting these queries to which I don't have any answers. I am in the junior-level management. I am confident that there is no problem with either me or the organization as these are problems faced in different organizations.
"I think the problem is with the organization or with you."
I also think that you should gear up to face such situations.

Hi Shy,
I accept your things. I faced such a problem a lot in my previous company (It is a very big story). You know, if the seniors can't do anything, they will fire the juniors.
In my point of view, you should do your work first. I mean try to learn about HR, how people are behaving with others, closely watch them, because this is a very good chance for you. You won't get those kinds of people in your life hereafter.
So, be cool and have a focused day!

Hi,
I view this topic as managing office politics in your favor: how not to become a victim of office politics. Here are tips I believe in for avoiding it:
- First and foremost, keep track of what you do in the minutest possible detail; someone will ask you one day.
- Don't gossip about anyone behind their back.
- It's safe to assume that no one can keep a secret. Keep your secrets to yourself.
- Always acknowledge someone else's contribution and remember to thank him/her. Make it a habit.
- Always remember that you are the most important person for yourself. Be a little selfish when it comes to your interest. Don't be over-giving; people tend to take this for granted.
And just do your job well. Let your performance speak for you. If your performance is getting affected by someone else, you should report it to the concerned people.
Cheers,
