Office Politics
So we've got our office holiday party coming up tomorrow and it's causing a big hubbub. Basically our CFO is taking party attendance pretty seriously...it will go into account for bonus evaluations at the end of the quarter, people who were getting awards but didn't want to come to the party are no longer getting their awards and crap like that. This office is huge on "team spirit" and if you're not a joiner you're pretty much screwed. A friend of mine, on the other hand, works for a small IT firm and said that they don't have anything like that, and no one really gives a crap if you participate in office activities, there's no "in crowd" in their office, all of which is totally different from mine.
Do office politics play a big part in your work place? Does it bother you? Do you do activities just because you know it will play into those politics?
