Sometimes I feel like PowerPoint karaoke is the best way to prepare for the AI future. After all, it seems a considerable number of people generate reports and presentations they haven't read, but try to present them with utmost confidence.

I learned many years ago that it's easy to manipulate colleagues with how you approach them. Some want you to be supplicant and know less than them; others want you to be dynamic.
Conversely, one colleague uses different voices to draw sympathy. It never works on me.
And another female colleague just hefts her chest around and flutters her eyelashes expecting men to fawn over her. Problem for her is: I don't like her personality so her cleavage would never have helped.
🌟Behold, a thrilling "revelation" from 14 years at Google: it's not about writing code—it's about surviving the labyrinth of office politics and coffee chats! ☕️ Who knew that engineers need more social skills than technical prowess? 🙄 #ShockingNotShocking

In today’s installment of "British Humor 101," a tribunal has ruled that calling your boss a "dickhead" is just another day at the office 🎉. Apparently, #professionalism now includes playground insults, and your HR department is just a suggestion box for your best banter 🤪.

Forum: #Bullying reflects deeper issues in #families & #society
"in 1993, #Denmark made #empathy a required #school #subject. It has helped children aged six to 16 develop #compassion & #social #awareness.. “Why should we expect perfectly harmonious relations among #children, when #adults themselves struggle with #conflict & #officepolitics in the workplace?” Indeed, children often mirror the unresolved conflicts & #emotional pain of adults around them"🧐🇸🇬

This fall, the intense, frustrating, just plain bad days are outnumbering the good ones and I don’t like it.
Goodness me, this brings back all sorts of unpleasant memories of office politics bullshit before I started working from home 25 years ago.

Still no milk in the office apart from the carton I have stashed at the back of my drawer. I wouldn't mind another brew, but that means passing two desperate people who won't buy their own but will want mine. #OfficePolitics 🤣 🥛🐄
Interesting HN discussion:

for this episode of the #CoRecursive #podcast:
“Leaving LinkedIn” (https://corecursive.com/leaving-linkedin-with-chris-krycho/)
talking about the #StaffEngineer role, #OfficePolitics, #influence, & #burnout.
“But do we get to play with safe opto-isolated geometry engines and invocation clusters here? Do we, fuck: we’re stuck with Dr. Volt and his thuggish friend Mr. Amp, and pray we don’t get a stray ground loop while the summoning core is present and active.”
Imagine if Greenwashing were a Gospel and HR were the Clergy, then you'd start to understand a lot more about modern corporate culture!

Have you ever been set up for failure at your job? What was the situation? How did you handle it?
Pro-Tip: If your office is having a "White Elephant' Gift Exchange at the office Holiday Party, and the boss opens or takes a gift he likes, don't "steal" it, even if it is allowed in the rules of the game. He will remember. #officepolitics
'Hey, how come you weren't at the very important meeting?' is the adult version of 'That party was amazing. You totally should’ve been there.’
The answer to both is and always has been: because no one invited me or even told me it was happening.
I've finally been able to nag the office to pay the $15 to replace the flipper rubbers on the office pinball machine! A win at last!
Good #morning friends 💕:blobfoxcofecute: 💕
Yesterday was a hard day on the #work front… I’d been away just long enough to forget about #OfficePolitics but they’re still here, right where I left them :revblobfoxupsidedown:
This week, I’m glad it’s #Friday. How are y’all today??
Mr Short was absolutely #livid. Productivity was one thing, but to be shown up in such a way by junior staff! So an excel function could do in thirty seconds what took him six hours, so what? There was only one option — kill everyone who had witnessed this witchcraft.

Me internally screaming...."We have used the same document for 20 years" is NOT a good reason to keep using it. It is misleading garbage!
Me actually speaking....the document has lead to significant errors but your department your rules.
And ... one more staff member in that department out on stress leave. 😬 Sure am glad that I never applied for that job.
