Thanks for watching! If you’re going to use these office politics tips at your organization, write “SURVIVE AND THRIVE!” in the comments below. Cheers!

[@pbbhaskar]

Summary: 1. Don't pick sides in the event of situations / conflicts. Be neutral and focus on what can be done to bring situation to normalcy and progress with the activity 2. Document all the major agreements in discussions or meetings for future reference 3. Don't get personal: everyone has different views and ways of expressing. stay calm and focus on the issue 4. Stay away from gossip: It spirals you into negative energy loop quickly 5. Stay positive: Be compassionate, give benefit of doubt to others, see things from different perspectives.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, cheers!

[@Seed2Stem]

Choose positivity. Assume positive intent. Start every day with a fresh slate and leave behind the baggage from yesterday. Great stuff Adriana!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Yes, yes and yes! Thank you for watching and glad you seek positivity in those difficult situations. Cheers!

[@suziebujok3810]

Great tips! I like how you mentioned that when someone is angry it's probably not about you and you need to walk away.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Suzie! It's true, when others are making things personal and unprofessional at work, it's more often than not a reflection of them. Glad you stopped by to check it out, cheers!

[@cryora]

Get angry back and fuck them up.

[@laurendempsey9644]

I agree - office politics are tricky to navigate when you're new and trying to make friends and be nice to people. I think gossip is the worst because it's hard to know how to respond without also being a gossiper or being negative! But you're right, everyone knows who the gossipers are and everyone wants to steer clear of them so it's best not to get involved.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Lauren, it's definitely difficult to know how to respond when you're presented with gossip and negative talk. I find it's helpful to simply respond back with something positive about the person/situation that's being talked about. That way you're still able to interact with those people while not becoming a gossiper! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@HeatherGerhardt]

Stay in your lane, if it doesn’t concern you, stay out it! Hate office politics. Great information!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I agree, Heather - don't get into other people's business! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@VictoriaLioznyansky]

Great video! Office politics can be absolutely poisonous, and take all the fun out of a job you love. My favorite advice is look for mentors, not for gossipers. So true!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Victoria! Having mentors is a great way to learn the ropes of the job and ensure you're spending time with quality workers. So glad you liked the video, cheers!

[@marksummers463]

5 great tips Adriana! I'm a solo-preneur and every now and then I miss the camaraderie of having workmates to bounce ideas with -- and then I hear horror stories from friends and I'm so glad I work alone :-) These tips are essential - thank you.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hey Teena - I agree, there are pros and cons to both, but office politics can be one of the downsides of working with others. So glad you're happy with your decision to be a solo-preneur! Cheers!

[@erockbrox8484]

I keep on making the mistake on talking to people at my work and they end up complaining on me, and I find this funny because it just shows how insecure they are.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

[@HR2-2024]

I have always done what you said in this vedio and have remained nuteral which has benefited me. However, sometime people because of their perceptions and stereotypes will think of you being part of a specific group and deal negatively with you without any reasons. But yes, the precious things that have helped me are honesty and positivity. Loved this video.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

We can never change others perceptions but as long a you know that you are staying positive and honest, that's what counts the most. Thanks for watching, cheers!

Thanks for this, I really needed to hear these tips right now. Things have not been going well at my new job (been there for 3 months), and it got even worse today when I got into a heated exchange with two co-workers on my team. It's all just office politics and I'm getting really depressed because I'm realizing I'm most likely going to run into this kind of thing at whatever organization I join.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I hope these tips will help as you move forward. Thanks for watching and I’m sure there are better days ahead.

[@jschultzf3]

Playing it safe and documenting....so smart!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, James! Unfortunately, sometimes documenting is the safest thing to do. Cheers!

[@jschultzf3]

I've actually started doing this recently, with important conversations, and it definitely gives me peace of mind.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Peace of mind is huge! Even if you don't end up using the documentation in the future, it removes the anxiety of the situation becoming even worse. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@cryora]

Documenting takes too much time and takes your concentration away from the conversation. It also makes you inflexible in the future if you need to change something and someone else is holding the documentation against you saying that you agreed to such and such and need to do what was agreed upon. If you're not the boss to begin with, documentation doesn't help for shit, because the boss has the authority to override decisions at any time and rewrite history as he please.

[@WendyLeungCoaching]

These are all great tips for dealing with office politics! I certainly navigated my way through a fair share of them when I used to work in an office setting. Staying out of it and focusing on your work is the best tactic, if at all possible! Great video, Adriana!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Wendy! I agree, being independent and focusing on the role you play in the company keeps you from getting sucked in. I'm glad you were able to develop strategies for dealing with office politics. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

What if the gossipers are the ones that are mainstream and try to push you aside just because you are a top performer and better than them?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Gossiping will never end well down the line so those mainstream colleagues may find themselves down stream very quickly. If the gossip is causing issues with productivity, the job and the overall emotional well being of the individual then having a conversation with management and or HR would be in order. Thanks for watching and for your question. Cheers!

Great tips! Some questions. I've been around for a long time, and although I always try to be super kind and compassionate towards my coworkers, but somehow, I always seem to end up with the short end of the stick! And to this date, I have not been able to figure out why and what happened! Maybe too honest or too naive!? I would appreciate all positive feedbacks...

[@IK-qu9hw]

My ma'am dicuss all project points with others..(I joint company just 10 days before) Even during project development she not help me she help others . Now I want to complaint that with my maneger sir .. So what should I do plz tell me

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I would need to have a greater understanding of your situation to truly answer your question but here are some high level steps you can take if you choose. Step one: Get clarity on expectations, scope statement, your role, and document that. Ensure that you're delivering to everything you're required to deliver to. Step two: start documenting these office politics scenarios when they occur so you can highlight them in conversation. Step three: take a look inward and make sure that you've done everything you can do to the best of your ability. Step four: depending on that outcome, talk to the person who you're having issues with to get clarity on how you can work better together. If that doesn't work, talk to your manager. But the most important thing is always to document. Best of luck! Always approach things with respect and compassion.

[@mothgirlx6707]

Would be interested to know how you can keep it neutral when a side (superior) forces you to pick a side through a yes/no question or an action (note you cannot go to their superior without repercussions as politics stem from there)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

That's a tough place to be when you are asked to give a simple a yes or no answer. No one should have to pick a side but everyone is entitled to give their opinion on situations so try that if possible to help keep it neutral. Wishing you all the best, cheers.

I have a colleague, I thought he is my friend or on my side. He started gossips first, a lot about almost everything. Of course, during the conversation it is normal to talk about my own feelings and all these things, I learnt my great lesson. In the end, he backstabbed me in front of my boss when I wasn't there. What should I do? Should I expose in front all the gossips he had talked about inclusive about my boss? On appearance, he looks like a genuinely friendly person, but I didn't realise what he is doing.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It is unfortunate you had to experience that. Don’t start gossiping to your boss about what he said, it will only make you look bad. Instead ensure you always do your best work and set up regular debrief meeting with your boss to review your work, ask questions etc. This will ensure when anything bad is said you have established a routine of reviewing your work with your manager and they will be in the loop of your progress. This will help your manager distinguish gossip from truth. As a side note, I know how much this betrayal can hurt. Look for the positives and choose to grow from this.

[@laurenconrad1799]

Great video, but I think it’s incredibly important to distinguish what is petty office politics vs what is abuse, bullying, and sexual harassment. If a male boss remarks on how cute his female associate’s butt is and she feels uncomfortable, that’s no longer office politics. That’s sexual harrasment, though it may have begun as something seemingly innocuous.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching, Lauren. Abuse, bullying and sexual harassment is far outside the scope of office politics. I wouldn't consider a remark such as the one above to be considered office politics from the get go, this would be an issue that would need to be taken to HR immediately.

Survive? Let's flip this around and use Miramax as an example. To survive the politics there, how would you navigate there? There is no surviving or tiptoeing around! The only thing to do is to do what is right even if you lose your job for it! That's what got Weinstein finally facing his comeuppance. When someone is is bullying, harassing, setting you up, stealing your work, they should be placed into the light of truth because that is the only way to force change into these toxic structures. Following the tips given here, are making sure that things what go on in companies like Miramax and others like it, will stay hidden and nothing will change.
