WoRk PoLiTiCs?

No matter where you work and who you work with, there are always people who are POWER HUNGRY and desperate for attention! They will do anything they can to win the management's hearts and always show that they are the best at what they do "only when the boss is around". They are the biggest hypocrites in the whole entire world and all you want to do is grab their heads and twist their necks till it cracks and make sure they're not breathing when you are done with them! WOW! that sounds wrong... Don't worry that's just how I feel about those people, I never really did that :)
Now these people love it when you are afraid of them and they know that you will want to be their friend just because you don't want to be on their bad side. Even if they paid me millions I would never be friends with these type of people because they just don't deserve to have friends. I don't think we should be afraid of work politics and just go with the flow. Just make sure you don't get involved in it. Surprisingly we don't realize that sometimes we do act like them or maybe become like them. I know, that maybe right now one of them may be reading this blog at this very moment. I wont be surprised though because I've seen so many faces, and attitudes and I know the going gets tough if you mess around with these type of people.
Let me give an example of work politics from my workplace, wont mention names though (I might get into deep trouble even by posting this in my blog). I just started working in a new company and off course the office politics in this company is damn strong! I didn't notice it at first but after just 2 days of working, it was so obvious! There was this one particular person and believe me, this person plays a one man show! This person will point out every single mistake anyone in the team makes and every time you make a mistake, an email will be sent to you highlighting your mistake CC the BOSS! OMG! so far I haven't been highlighted and I hope I wont be in the near future! It's amazing how this person can point out mistakes made by every individual in our team not to mention that there were 19 members not including us (the newbies) and the boss! We call this person the highlighter marker pen! I think it really suits that person.
Coincidentally, this individual was my friend's mentor and he face a few errors while doing the work that was given to him, newbies? what do you expect? we're not perfect right? There was something wrong with the documents and the previous person in charge of the document didn't follow-up accordingly. As usual that person tells my friend to send out an email to the Previous person in charge. The person in charge of that case previously replied the email in a sarcastic manner telling that person to check properly before asking a newbie to send him an email and if that person is not good enough to be a mentor, ask the boss to look for someone else to be my friend's mentor! Wow! That really did it!
The next thing we know, both of them were called to the Office to see the boss! I don't know how that happened but when they came out of the meeting the dude was just smiling and "THAT PERSON" looked really pissed off! I don't know what went on there but it sure made that person look stupid. Still got to get updated on that stuff! Once I get the update I will post it here. I sure hope the boss was fair to judge between the both of them.
