Navigating Office Politics

Oh Hey!
So let's discuss office politics, shall we? This video was requested by KZbin user Hurricane08. We have all heard the term :office politics" at some point. These politics cover a wide range of area but in today's video I will be focusing on just a few.
Favorites, there is always an office favorite or two. These individuals seemingly get preferential treatment while everyone seems to get overlooked. Well today I am breaking down how to stand out despite maybe not being the office favorite.
Gossip is another part of office politics that can be very dangerous. On the one hand, being in the know can have its advantages. On the other hand, being in everybody's business can really get you into hot water and it's not a good look.
In today's video I am also breaking down the office politics surrounding social media. This one is personal because I am active on social media. There is this unspoken rule now that whatever you post online is subject to ridicule at work. Do I agree with this notion- absolutely not. I break down more on my thoughts in the video.

You’ve been a big help to me over the past couple of years with my accounting journey. Hope you’re doing well!

This video was definitely helpful. Corporate culture can be toxic especially because you see the same people everyday, so you have to distance yourself from office politics. #protectyourpeace

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Thank you! I think the lines get too blurred and because you spend so much time at work you begin to think these people are friends. I learned the hard way years ago, it is important to set boundaries with co-workers. I agree, protect your peace at all costs.

I honestly don’t care about being the favorite I only care about doing my job well!

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

I know that’s right!

Great advice! I work for a financial services company and it actually says in the employee handbook that we’re not allowed to list the employer on our Facebook profile but that putting it on LinkedIn is fine.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

That’s smart. I never have been big on promoting the company I work for because I understand how marketing works and they should pay for that
