How to survive corporate politics Sun, 18th May 2008 at 10:22 pm

Some will tell you the best way to deal with corporate politics is to keep a low profile. Some say cozy up to the boss. Some say work the longest hours.

You're just going to suffer no matter what you do. Get used to it. That's why people buy lottery tickets. I say the simple answer to corporate politics is honesty, integrity, great record keeping, focus, believe in yourself, and a personal mission statement.
