We are generally shaped by our families and societies. Humans have always learned to stay in groups because groups make people feel safe. We have tribes, communities, and religions. Often, we bring these habits into the office, preferring to do things our way. This can lead to conflicts that turn into office politics.
Office politics are usually less in a new office. If the organisation is old, it often becomes negative. Over time, people may become cunning, and negativity grows. Organisations must pay attention to these issues. If not, some people in leadership favour those they like, not those who are skilled. Instead, they pick attractive personalities, which lowers productivity. Eventually, the organisation suffers.
Moreover, it is our individual duty not to carry toxicity to the workplace. Sooner or later, people can find out. These days things have become different. People used to get away with many things in the past. Not these days. Online media can make you viral overnight. All people think that they are the intelligent people on Earth and do some nefarious activities in the name of prejudice and even in the name of activism, to bully people. Once it is over a certain level, people do not hesitate to call you out. There are thousands of ways to pin you down. One has to keep their workplace in order because money is coming from it. Once it is stopped due to stupidity, you can keep looking for it. In such cases, the group to which you belong may not be there to help you, but their thoughts and prejudices might have certainly pushed you downhill.
