Having hard time understanding the actual word meaning
In: 3
Office politics might have to do with who likes working together, or who gets to be in charge of what project, or which projects get funded (or cancelled). Basically, there are decisions to be made, and those decisions affect the people working there. Getting a good project launched might earn you a promotion, but not if your project gets cancelled in favor of a rival effort. Who makes the decision? Who does that person listen to? If you’re trying to change how things are done, whose support do you need?
(No, this doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with “politics” in the sense of political parties or elections or regulation or policy.)
