Welcome to the Office Politics Pitfalls page. Where the phrase "it depends" is not just a phrase, but a way of life.
Here are a few examples of how this phrase can be used in everyday office politics:
- It depends on who you ask, but did you know that the copier is always jammed?
- It depends on the meeting, but the coffee machine will only work if you press the right buttons in exactly the right order.
- It depends on the manager, but the new policy is only a suggestion, not a rule... until it is a rule.
- It depends on who you know, but the CEO's favorite color is actually plaid.
