Another challenging week went by... lot of things happened this week... our VP bid farewell to us... no clarity on who is gonna take his place... lot of politics.. lot of backstabbing... blood has been drawn.. now the fight is on... mind you.. it has gone from bad to worse... well that is office politics.
Coming to office politics.... I have identified three groups in any office...... the lions, the foxes and the hyenas....
The lions are the fighters who fight it out in the open... face to face... claws drawn... intimidating... aggressive.... hard ones.... will fight for oneupmanship, promotion anything.... They are the ones who live by the sword and die by it...... they are usually the ones who are left licking their wounds on defeat or having their lions share after a win...
Foxes are the ones with the shrewd ideas, the PR for the lions... the man friday... they are the right hands of the lions and see to it that their masters are always a step ahead of the other and wouldnt mind dealing a under-the-belt blow to others.... usually the ones to get a nice big share of the spoils in case of a win and may be suffer a little in defeats... but no wounds nothing....
Hyenas are the spectators.... they are the spectators ..... they wait for the battle to end and the spoils to be divided and the leftovers to be thrown to them.... they are the real scavengers.. they dont benefit much, but then their position is safe... no injuries... they are the sadists ... they just enjoy the fight....
It is the foxes and hyenas that everyone has to stay away from... lions are invited.. their competitiveness adds to an healthy environment in the office if kept within limits....
well well... that is it i guess for the week.... less talked about office politics the better.... now sleeping time.. time to think of the birds and bees.... he he ..... wat se.... ciao
