丛林密布--谁是办公室政治赢家

MICHELLE07

出国数年,久居乡下,离办公室政治越来越疏远。
偶尔看到行业杂志的一篇文章,顺手摘录翻译一下,以备将来去城市谋生不时之需。

链接如下，英语好的同学请直接读原文。

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
拒绝参与办公室政治的惩罚之一就是你最终将被下属统治。

“Office politics has bred a new predator: the workplace psychopath“
办公室政治繁殖了一种新食肉动物：工作场所疯子。

“Turf wars and backstabbing are rife in the modern-day office.”
草场战争和背后伤人在现代办公室很普遍。
Google说：Turf war is "a bitter struggle for territory, power, control, or rights"

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
跟朋友亲近,跟敌人更亲近.

"don’t rely on confidentiality.assume things will be disclosed and decide what you should reveal accordingly. If you believe a matter will come back to haunt you, make sure you keep a record, either via email or document. Nothing saves a job or career more than a written record, and it is also an effective way to highlight your own accomplishments."
这个比较直观，不翻译了。必要时留证据，凡事留一手嘛。

Seven ways to win at the game of office politics
在办公室政治游戏中胜出的七招

   1. Don’t say anything about colleagues you wouldn’t say directly to them.

   2. Separate tabloid-style gossip from news that could directly affect your career.

   3. Aim to build solid connections with colleagues at all levels and corners of the organisation, not just those at the top.

   4. Avoid sticky situations by remaining aware of and sensitive to the tacit rules that often influence employee behaviour. Careful observation can keep you from stepping on toes or breaking an unspoken chain of command.

   5. Although interacting with a mix of personalities is challenging, gain an edge by taking note of how people in your office prefer to communicate.

   6. Small squabbles can turn into rivalries, so don’t let conflict fester. Be straightforward with your concerns but always focus on facts, not feelings.

   7. Because all politics is local, interpersonal skills matter and small talk can be important. Taking an interest in co-workers’ lives can help you connect on a basic level, diffuse tension and firm up collegial friendships.

就学到一句:
Always focus on facts, not feelings.

为了健康，远离办公室政治。

MICHELLE07

我现在处的环境就几乎没有.
墨尔本如何?

妮南

我所处的环境是远离办公室，不过，人与人的意见和纠纷还是有的，假如人家跟你不熟也就不告诉你。

我现在TAFE上课，发现班级上爱拉关系的同学也有，可以说是友好、也可以说是小贿赂。

MICHELLE07

那些可能还没什么.我悉尼的朋友曾深受办公室政治之苦.

其实政治不是猛虎, 它无处不在,国家政治,论坛政治,办公室政治,还有家庭政治.

文章里有这么一段:
Of course, many refuse to play the political game, instead focusing on their jobs and working harder in the hope of being noticed and better rewarded for their efforts. But sometimes these people can end up being overlooked or ignored while others are fast-tracked straight to the top.
只把自己工作做好有时候不够....

到处都有滴。。。可以不参与。。。但不等于不防御。。。

办公室政治无处不在啊
搞技术的也不例外

MICHELLE07

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
跟朋友亲近,跟敌人更亲近.


谁能告诉我，这个怎么理解？


是说工作中不要树敌，还是说要利用敌人的力量，＂不入虎穴，焉得虎子＂？

不过，工作不是没有敌人和朋友，只有利益么？
SO，KEEP CLOSE TO WHO？

Here is my standpoint:

不论是办公室还是论坛，政治无处不在，I hate this but it's somewhat true fact.

换个角度，没有所谓的办公室政治或者论坛政治，只有为人处世的方式。

There is neither friend nor enemy in your office, there is only co-workers. Friends and enemies are merely found in your personal life, or after hour life.

You may bring your personality to your office, but you would not bring your personal life to the office. (Well, surfing freeoz is excluded.  People play facebook in office anyway.)

Communication is the key to office politics, especially let others know what you are doing, including your boss.

If you cannot avoid office wrangles by all means, it's time to leave from it.

Working is one of the ways to support your life, not to degrade your life.

Always focus on facts, not feelings.
喜欢这句，但对于情绪化的女人来说，做起来有点难啊

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

窃以为第一个close是亲近，第二个是了解，得了解对方会如何出牌。
