Ofix Politik

There is a forensic and analytical way of saying, “Nothing is a secret when a 3rd party enters into the picture” and “None paper in this world could have the power to wrap a FIRE.”

Office politics, when used wisely can help you achieved your aim. However, it also depends greatly on how intelligent a manager can manipulate the politics situation in his department. When shall he create the turbulence? What shall be his plan when the turbulence is on top of the rock? How can he control such aggressive power?

In our departments, office politics is our main course (just like the rice we had everyday), we need to face them everyday. No matter how low profile or careful you are, my colleagues are just glad/eager/over-excited to stab you at the back, see you fall and then came forward “kindly” to help you up so that they can hit you even harder next time in order to laugh at you. Whatever Islamic, Christian and Buddha teachings are all gone and disappear in thin air. What a pity?

(Both in the smoking zone having their break.)

Sandra : Hai Rocky, May I borrow your lighter?
Rocky : Of Course you may. Nah….
Sandra : So, What is up?
Rocky : Nothing much, recently had been busy with the integration of COM ABC with System XYZ.
Sandra : How is it going?
Rocky : So far so good lah…….How is your System 123 additional specifications?
Sandra : Huh!!........What Specifications, Says Who?
Rocky : Didn’t you receive any email?
Sandra : What email?
Rocky : Email send by Mr. CinCin, informing us on the newly added specification and request each of us to come up with a new User Interface for System 123. And each of us will have to talk about our idea during the System Review held on this coming Thursday.
Sandra : I had not received such email, may be is for PIO (ie, People Involve Only).
Rocky : It is not me that bad-mouth you in front of the manager, it is all Mr. CinCin.
Sandra : What to do, in this department, I am just an outsider.
Rocky : No eh,…… you are not, even the manager did said before that you are still part of our development team even though you are chosen to specialized in System Security.

Hearing such hypocrite words, Sandra just smiled at Rocky and heads back to her table. The next thing she did was picking up the phone calling me. Ha ha ha ha……
