Office Politics 101: The Art of Not Getting Fired

Congratulations on making it to this page! Office politics is a delicate dance of alliances, backstabbing, and carefully crafted PowerPoint presentations. But fear not, dear reader, for we shall guide you through the minefield of middle-management mayhem.

The Three Core Principles

1. 1. Build relationships, not rapport - A good office politician knows that a strong network of allies is key to survival. But don't get too cozy, or you'll find yourself in a toxic love triangle with Karen from HR.
2. 2. Master the art of passive-aggressive email - A well-crafted email can make or break a career. Remember, it's not what you say, but how you say it that matters (and also, don't use Comic Sans).
3. 3. Be seen, not heard - Visibility is key in the office. Make sure you're always present, always seen, but never actually doing anything of value.
