Re: Dance Puppet, Dance!!!
You have to play very strategically if that someone is your boss or manager and remove yourself from that situation.
So much time is wasted in political nonsense but you have to look out for your own. I learned very early on in my corporate career that there are no friends here.
"What's in it for me" is probably the best question to ask yourself. Sounds a bit selfish but I ask myself that questions every 3 months and if I feel like there is nothing than I revaluate and shift gears.
People who reported to you once can become your bosses and vice versa so always choose you words carefully.
my two cents worth..
