Usually I see office politics in drama and not in the real world. Maybe because I am currently still studying, hence I can only experience internal politics between groups. However, no matter whether we are still studying or working, we can experience politics as long as there are personality clashes.
In my first year of study in Temasek Polytechnic, I have experienced politics in my group. This was due to some personality differences among our group mates.
I find this lesson useful, helpful and interesting because I am a person who does not like politics and will find way to try not to be involved in it. While going through the tutorial, I realized one part of the tutorial mentioning “Size up your boss” and “Getting the Boss on your side”. This is closely related to my primary school days when my friends dislike students who are “Teacher’s pet”.
However, after I have grown up, I realized that in the business world, everyone is trying their best to get their bosses to their side.
This topic definitely has increased my knowledge about the “real world” and in the future, I am able to protect myself, as well as my job, in an organization.

To be liked by everyone in the company is the only way to survive in a political company. Hence, the skills taught during lesson are ways to survive in an organization. This skill can help in my career because it also increases my knowledge of how to free myself from politics.
