But when the staff is inflamed, some new units are emerging, the posts are mixed, there is a threat of enlargement, then reduction ... Someone inevitably crosses the road. And clever combinations begin. Secondly, many office intrigues in the native collective are preceded by "nothing doing". Who is intriguing in the metallurgical shop? There you have time to turn, and so hot! And paperworkers need to spill out excess energy somewhere. A boring life can be made fascinating at least in such an ambiguous way, to put it mildly. Thirdly, how to achieve the illusion of its own significance and power: here, I'm a small fry, and I want - I can annoy important people!
How to develop office intrigues. There are quite trivial intrigues "for five cents": complain about being late, let the rumor about someone's private life, spoil the mood whispering behind your back or get to the computer and kill someone else's file. Such things can quickly be exposed and stopped. But if the importance of the case is measured in thousands of "cu", and for it are experienced "gray cardinals" ... They accurately address and dispense nasty gossip, while remaining in the shadows, they throw up impossible tasks, they make a victim " black PR "so that it turns out that it involved many employees. Who themselves do not suspect that their malevolence and talkativeness made themselves pawns in someone else's dirty game ...
Who needs office intrigues. To begin with, people can thus fight for very real things: material benefits, promotion - just these are comrades who do not know how to achieve their goals differently, honestly. Moreover, the intriguer always looks like a trickery against himself. So he begins to attack first, thinking that he is defending ... And one more important point: very much in the created situation depends on the leadership. Where the boss severely suppresses "undercover games," they do not get development. But short-sighted directors close their eyes to this. And some even encourage the disassembly between subordinates: they think that this is evidence of healthy competition. In fact, when "the steam engine takes all the steam to the whistles", the productivity of the team only decreases ... Plus, the difficult situation, which normal workers simply can not stand - and valuable personnel leave the "hornet's nest".
How not to become a victim of office intrigue. Surely you are not one of those who are able to achieve their blows in the back. But also to be a simpleton, which can be used for their own purposes, also do not want to. What strategy of behavior will help to stay afloat in the "intriguing" situation? Be always open in professional communication. At any opportunity, it is better to discuss business matters publicly, collectively. If you will only expound your plans personally personally to the boss - there will be a possible occasion to accuse you of arbitrariness and an attempt to covertly influence the boss. In personal matters, it is better to be as restrained as possible. Even if a colleague seems nice and sympathetic to you, you should not devote her to your intimate problems. And even more so - succumb to the temptation to discuss in the smoking room the intimate problems of the secretary or the headmistress. All this can be used against you. Try to keep your affairs in order.
