The only way to win the game is not to play at all. Do good work, don't let the company take advantage of you, make promises you can keep, and then KEEP THEM, treat your colleagues nicely, teach when you can, learn when your colleagues have something to teach you, say "I don't know" and "I was wrong", and "Thank you", study and practice servant leadership, and remember that your worth as a human is not very closely related to what's written on your paycheck.

- enraged_camel 8y agoI'd say it's usually a bad one. By staying out of politics, you're electing to be at the mercy of others, who can (and inevitably will) take advantage of you.
- marssaxman 8y agoWhich is a better use of time: staying in the same place and contending with assholes who want to take advantage of you, or shrugging it off and going somewhere else with fewer assholes? We are always at the mercy of others, and I prefer not to negotiate with terrorists. Let them squabble over their petty ambitions; I'd rather spend my time among people who are more interested in collaborating with me than exploiting me.
