I worked so hard for the entire year that I didn’t care about day or night. I thought that I would definitely get promoted in this appraisal. If not for promotion, then the salary will definitely increase.

I concentrated on my work quietly. I never paid attention to the gossip happening here and there. What do I get from gossiping with people—who did what, what happened to whom? If I do a job, I ought to focus on my work, right?

Most people think that way! And despite working hard with honesty and sincerity, they are not able to climb the ladder of the corporate world.
Reason?

Office Policy!
It is not the office policy that is written in corporate ethics or the standard office policy. No! This is an unwritten policy. There is corporate politics, which is not written anywhere but is pervasive everywhere.

And this is the real office policy—a formula to survive in the office and save your existence!

The author shares his life experience to tackle this unwritten, unannounced corporate politics.
