    Nov 25 2024
    Welcome back to "Unshakeable", the podcast where we turn the corporate rat race into your personal victory lap—one ruthless strategy at a time. Today’s episode is titled “Mastering Office Politics 101: Using Subtle Strategies to Stay Ahead.” Now, if you’re one of those people who says, “Oh, I don’t do office politics,” let me stop you right there. First of all, yes, you do. Everyone does. Saying you don’t play the game is like claiming you don’t breathe air. You might not think about it, but you’re doing it anyway. And second, if you’re not playing, you’re losing. Because let me tell you something: the office isn’t a meritocracy, it’s a battlefield. Talent and hard work? They’re great, but they won’t get you half as far as knowing how to play the game.

If you’re stuck in a toxic environment, this episode is for you. And if you’re not? Well, congratulations on winning the job lottery. Stick around anyway; you might need this someday.
