Office Politicians Beware, New Website Reveals Your Dirty Tricks & Games

Exposing the tactics of the Office Politician is the aim of this site. Alongside a frightening range of Dirty Tricks, www.politicsatwork.com also provides practical advice to help people to turn these games into positive outcomes for all concerned.

Based on the work of Mike Phipps, a UK specialist in the world of office politics, power and influence, Politics at Work provides positive assistance to the honest (but increasingly embattled) majority of people in organizations, who want to get on and do good work, but are frequently having to struggle against negative politics to succeed.

The website catalogues a wide array of Dirty Tricks and Games that often confuse and frustrate these well-meaning and honest corporate citizens. For many, these games are invisible or even masquerade as best practice, which is why this site is so powerful and illuminating. Identification is half the battle. As the site claims, “to be forewarned is to be forearmed.”

“As the workplace becomes more competitive, these games are increasingly being played by many overly ambitious individuals to get success - regardless of how much damage gets done, or how high the body count gets” said Mike Phipps, on of the senior partners who formed Politics at Work. “This is done with little regard to the overall health of the organization, and these games are nearly always a direct hit on the bottom line. Our mission is to interrupt this downward spiral and show people that there is another, more ethical way of succeeding.”

Having identified that a game is being played, what do you do to stop it? As a result of working with a wide range of different organizations, Mike has been able to develop practical approaches to neutralize these games. This advice is provided online for a nominal fee.

Unlike many other sites that help people with work related issues, Politics at Work are specialists in this area, providing greater depth and higher quality of advice. In addition to the catalogue of political tricks and games, the site provides subject resources including recent original research conducted into game “popularity”, power sources and other resources and articles on the underpinning academic theory.

But it doesn’t end there. As Mike admits, “Our work is really only just beginning. Office Politics is on the increase and we’ve got to help people to understand more about these covert agendas and what is really happening. We want to engage with our visitors to research, develop and share greater understanding. With this comes the ability to neutralise the Negative Office Politicians and create a more authentic and productive environment for us all to work in.”
