Do Employees Enjoy Corporate Politics?
I sometimes think that people actually enjoy corporate politics, insanity at work and cribbing about it almost every day. It gives them something to talk about apart from work.
Now, you might think "How can anyone really enjoy corporate politics?". Even I used to think the same. But after hearing lot of my friends crib about how insane their manager is and how their projects mates play politics for appraisals and salary raises; I've come to a conclusion that people actually enjoy the whole thing. It gives them some enjoyment at work and also something to talk about apart from their work.
That's why people seldom do anything about it. Few of my friends have been 'hating' their jobs since long; but they haven't done anything about it. They know that going to a new company will give them a new set of people, but the politics thing will continue. So they have made it a way of their corporate life.

MaRoIt's the flexible corporate life style, managers are open-minded & somehow crazy either in their life style or business style, it gives them the adventure experience which can be a great motivation to go work everyday & innovate or whatever their job do it very well.

any ways, yes, cooperate politics is a kinda entertainment for many. May be it helps them vent out their frustrations and blame someone else for something which has gone wrong thinking about it- it as well might induce the ' I am good, I don't play politics ' feeling in them ?!
Nevertheless, playing politics is a complete different ball game than mere talking about it.
Its same as Gossip right? you don't have guts to face the 'victim' and confront, but you still enjoy talking about (s)he. But what's the whole point of it - I never got a clue :-|
