Office politics is the scourge of every modern workplace. In this video, I shared 4 tips for dealing with office politics. Dealing with office politics can become a lot easier if we can anticipate and understand its nature. If you are thinking how not to be a part of office politics then this video is for you. Office politics in India is not different from office politics anywhere else in the world. This dark side of corporate world is often obscured by the fact that many people don’t speak up about it to save their jobs.
Those who do speak up about this dark side of corporate career often do so too late. Office politics tips and tricks are not a be-all and done-all. Sometimes, you may need to observe what’s happening around you in the office and make a decision likewise. Work Politics has been a constant problem in corporate jobs. If you get involved in office politics, it only leads to becoming a part of a toxic work culture. This toxic work culture in India is pretty damning because of how it impacts all of us.
Every one of us will become a victim of corporate politics or office politics at some point in our lives. Sooner than later you will realize that office politics impacts the appraisal cycles. This is because office politics is all about seeking more and more power. If the manager likes somebody and there’s someone on the team that he doesn’t like, then he will promote the person he likes just so that in the long run that manager has more influence and power in the company.
This corporate politics is not just about discrimination and favoritism. It can also be that the manager just doesn’t like your work. The manager might say that their personal career is not impacted by the particular work an employee does. Because of this, the manager may stop caring about that employee’s work altogether. These are straightforward examples. Some time down the line the manager may tell an employee not to talk to people in a different team. Just in their quest to control the narrative. Another thing is that the manager’s working style is very direct and yours is not.
As an employee, there are a few things you can do. A fresher should try not to get involved in office politics at all. You should observe for the first few months what is happening around you. You should keep your opinions to yourself. The next tip is to have those skip-level meetings with your manager’s manager. Then you should also try to talk to resource management groups to see if there are other projects you can work on. Lastly, be ready to leave the company if you see no other option.

Can't Agree More. And thanks for making this video.
As a victim of this corporate dirty politics i would like to share my experience.
I as a top performer got less percentage hike and 0% bonus in this cycle. Whereas the guy with average performance in my team got almost double the hike percentage i got and also 15% bonus. When i asked my Lead she said that all this things are based on various things you can not just ask for hike and bonus on the bases of your performance. Not only this she also said you should not discuss all these things with others it's an HR compliance issue. And also she tried to kind of threaten me by saying that your this action can be escalated to HR Policies non Compliance.
So, After all this i decided to drop my resignation paper.
Anyone out there who is facing the same problem/issue as i did my only advice would be to just leave the place where you are not valued.
but bro since you resiging, will you get new job in this situation bro? she doesnt like you bro.
It seems ur competitor has special ways to please boss,work on ur personality ,b seductive ,impressive
@@user-gt6ir3yi7g what are you saying bro its women who date managers for benefits even though these women are married but here you are suggesting the opposite.
@@idiot8779 maybe he declined her proposal earlier
@@user-ig-gg26j i do agree but opposite can also exist ..try
In many corporates, there is an implied need from seniors about expecting
Buttering
Chatukarita
Aandiya oochakna
Chaplusi. Etc from subordinates.
Corporate life seems hell😢, I'll have to figure out something when i get into college to avoid it, maybe ways to make money
Yeah by seeing his whole channel I'm trying my best to figure out those digital nomadic lifestyle
Bro, don't hate "ras malai" without even trying it.
It's true, we should learn from others' experiences, but sometimes we can only draw conclusions by experiencing things ourselves.
You are then sure to be a corporate honcho because of whom somebody will be making such videos
@@factfullyindian8178 don't hate the player, hate the game
As long as I'm not exploited I'm good 👍
@@ItzGhostHere if you hate the game then know that corporate is full of such power games. Big fish eat small fish is not just an adage. Aa a victim of such politics at the age of 52 and losing my job for the reasons of not playing the power game, i can say that the only way to survive in corporate, as you age into it, is to play the game so ruthlessly that you oust every dissenter if you have to advance. My nature not permitting me to be so am the victim. Things would be getting even worse for the new generation.
I generally find one or two out of four points relatable in some corporate related videos, but this entire video is spot on. Please continue doing these informative videos
Sometimes managers are not hesitant in promoting mediocre employees or under performers where in consistently good performers are only allotted the same role as they deliver results.
how are managers are hired in IT Companies? Engineers get promoted or MBA grads?
Very true

I hv been facing office politics and toxic work environment in J&J Bengaluru
As per my experience the only last option works to have a mental peace ie.Resignation.
correct bro. but please have offer later in hand first, dont let your coulege know that you are looking for another job.
We need a tribunal for these sort of things. For too long this foolishness has been going on for.
In foreign countries you don't have these sort of things. Correct me if I am wrong
@@kevinmathew2973 Office politics is present everywhere. Maybe some countries have it worse than others. Europe is definitely worse than India, US is better. (It may be surprising given the image we have of Europe having better worker rights, but that is the whole point. When you limit how much a person can work, everyone works similar hours and has similar productivity, and thus who to promote becomes manager's discretion. This is why you see so many Indians as CEOs in US but not in UK despite UK having similar % of Indians)
I am also facing Dirty politics and toxic environment but I tell hr i take a break 2 month but they tell me not possible i only take 10 day break then after i continue. I agree but my 1 another condition salary increment they accept my condition then after i continued.
I m right or wrong tell me ?
Wish I had seen your video before, this exactly happened to me but lesson learned to move on. Thanks again. You're spot on this.
Thank you for the brutal honesty , Pavan :)
Always!
PAVAN SATHYARAJU IS A GREAT MAN AND GOD...GOD BLESS THIS MAN
Thanks. I feel that I am learning things from an elder brother.
What a fantastic topic to create awareness on. What you have shared in your video is so true. there is also racism involved in corporate politics can be based on religion, language, state, etc..
Just found your channel and I absolutely admire your content! Keep up being the voice of the voiceless, we all seem to share similar experiences in the corporate world.
It is so legit, Thank you so much for this message.
This video content is true. Trust me I have lived it
My corporate career got ruined midway because of the same office politics. Just couldn't survive. Lost my health ad well because of pressure n tension. Suffered severe migraine. Now...struggling to make a good career.
So glad i stumbled upon your channel. Sharing so much wisdom, many thanks
This is so true. Experiencing the same with my current senior. Even though I am in a Non MBA field
Good realistic content...worth sharing, thanks 👍
Thank you so much, because of this corporate politics I resigned and am facing lot of challenges now to atleast get a next job !
I am facing mental haressment from my manager even worse than you have mentioned. He creates unrealistic situation so that I can't perform and collecting such points for appraisal meeting and to show it to my M2 manager. He dont talk to me at professional or personal level. If 4 persons are sitting on a table he will talk to everyone except me. It started when my M2 manager assigned me something which my manager was suppose to handle but he refused. I handeled the job well. Now he finds for every opportunity to portray me to my M2 as if I am not working properly. He also has bias (favour) towards people of his ethinicity.
Leave the job and find a new job Bro
He must be muslim
Never seen another indian person talking about corporate politics so deep
Awesome that ur exporting the reality.
I love your last point. We are often convinced we have to stay at toxic jobs at all costs to the detriment of our health, family and relationships. Great video.
Thank you:)
Super advice sir.
Nice narration. Sometime you don't have choice but resign. In my opinion, maintaining your professionalism is only way forward and demonstrate maturity to fix the core issue, ensure other party gets life time lesson.
It's really very informative. Thank you so much sir for sharing such videos. Could you please make video on how to apply for management consulting jobs and what is the right time to apply like in which month there's hiring going on.
This whole video is accurate to a literal T.
Thank you!
Thank you sir for giving so much of clearity 😊❤️
Glad!
Also give some tips on how to survive corporate for introverts and innocent people, how can they save themselves from getting fucked by these people
If you're innocent and introvert, you'll literally get fucked by senior colleagues and managers. So, it's better to become extrovert, cunning, clever, shrewd, street-smart, wise and have the clarity about your task. Best of luck 😊
Nice video ❤
Sir can you share, how economic slowdown and revoked job offers affecting IIMs and pvt business schools? Also why there's been an increase in 1L+ CAT takers from 2.5 to approx 3.3 even when top colleges are struggling big time and education loan payments are at an all time high?
Please make video on which Hollister T-Shirts one can buy …I see that you only wear Hollister T-shirts

Same happened with last 3 years but trying switch the company outside job market is not good 😢
Nice
i am facing Corporate Politics.. But I cant resign because new jobs are difficult to get.. one of my friends resigned and its been 2 years since he worked last now after 2 years he has got a job so Resign is not a good option until you have a another offer latter from another company
People r the problem...
I have seen all things in my office
Don't be hesitant to resign.
beautifull..
Corporate is lacking Co-operate.
In short is manager must be good/supportive and you spend more years with company...
Totally! I believe that is the major make or break
Make videos on interviews grilling and multiple rounds
It depends in which Industry you are degree varies. Thumb rule if you are a Chutiya- you get promoted. Knowledge everyone has or few should have, so if you are good pretend to be a chutiya
I have two questions.
One is from BPO sectior and other is from corporate may I know if you are okay if I ask??
Thank you
2:43 how can one have "3" excellent ratings in the last "2" years?
Most of the times because of coulleagues or seniors only many people get fired
Corporate politics is nothing new or different. Be it any job, there'll be politics there.
Where there're humans, there'll be political agendas
Yes, bro. Completely agree with you 💯
Agreed
Even the managers talk honey honey and the quietly dump you. Dirty politics they still pretend to be good and they screwed the promotion
Corporate life has my self confidence very low whenever i was in office i felt like jail, should keep quiet not to be open it's hell, made me what I'm not as mentioned before things have to change for betterment of companies and employees..
No wonder AI n ML n robots r replacing human employees rapidly..
Pls make a video on termination or resignation which is better and wise decesion in 2023?
Termination is better if the company pays severance
Is AI taking over consulting jobs? is it a good career move to prepare for GMAT to get into top MBA colleges to get into Consulting since AI is said to take over the field. Is it still worth the effort and money? or should we try Investment banking while getting into MBA college.
I thought you are going to say something different.
Believe on your skillset.....
Politics only play those who are less capable and
I seen manager also involved because why they scared of their own job....
But good manager hire smart people and dumb manager scared to hire people...
Thats reality
Ok good. You will become CEO tomorrow.
😂
Worst corporate
The best thing about corporate is they talk money … racism and nepotism may not play as much role

Pavan...don't spread negative energy among the aspirants.
Lol, really ? He is speaking the facts.
2008 to 2015, this guy mints money from IT companies and now using youtube to curse them and make money.
He isn't just cursing them but telling the reality
@@MisguidingWish What's the reality? Reality is that this CZcams channel is his passive source of income while he is still enjoying the huge sum of money he minted while working abroad for so many years.
