Office Politics

I had a rather interesting day in the office today. I learnt quite a bit about someone whom I had a different impression of and was surprised to know how many people in the office disliked that person. Personally, I think there's not much point in making life miserable for everyone and getting everyone to dislike you. I've always believed that having people respect and like you is a much more effective management tool. Then again, I've never been good at playing the office politics game.
