Office Politics
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Your career is at stake, you should know,
And you don’t want that guy as a foe.
Though his title ain’t fancy,
To mock him is chancy:
That fellow’s the president’s beau.

At one point I worked for a company that seemed to have a real bimbo as the head of strategy. Turned out she’d been selling office furniture and was “discovered” by our randy president who decided she was underutilized in her chair-and-desk selling capacity. She didn’t last long, but it was quite a scene while she did.

I love office humor. I think it helps that it is so often close to the truth.

[…] Nina over at Queercents writes about sexy, powerful women in her post “Women, Wealth and Power” - a look at the correlation between feeling sexy, being powerful, and having control of one’s personal finances; Mad Kane’s Humor Blog jokes about “Office Politics“; and Charles H.

Wow… office politics in rhyme… gotta love it! It is all about relationships and who knows whom, isn’t it? FYI, I’ve been doing a lot of writing on this topic on my own site (carpefactum.typepad.com) and am also a contributing author on www.officepolitics.com - both are good resources for those curious about going deeper into the topic.
Great post.

Play positive politics, though, and your coworkers and bosses will probably turn any stabbing instincts elsewhere.
