  1. reading “I had went above and beyond to do something cool for work” stopped me in my tracts. Hopefully that sentence was wrong on purpose to illustrate the persons ignorance.

  2. Hey, just checked out your post on workplace politics, and I must say, it really hits home! I love how you broke down the idea that it’s not just about “playing the game” but also being true to ourselves while navigating these tricky waters. The point about being aware of your environment and the people around you is super relevant, especially for those of us in the sandwich generation, trying to balance family and work.

    Your thoughts on ‘playing smart’ rather than ‘playing dirty’ is something we really need to embrace! It’s all about building genuine connections and navigating the politics with integrity, right?

    Here’s a thought – with all this talk about being strategic in our careers, how do you think we can better educate ourselves to spot workplace manipulation without coming off as paranoid or overly suspicious? I ask this because I feel like many young professionals are struggling to trust their instincts in office dynamics, and understanding this could really help us grow in our careers. What’s your take on that?
