Yes. Whether in the private sector or the government sector, politics is everywhere. To avoid being affected negatively by it, we should at least understand the basics.
What is politics?
It is a power struggle between people or groups.
Why does politics exist?
Because resources are limited, while the number of people competing for them is large. In corporate life, to keep their jobs, people not only want to showcase their own work but also sometimes try to put others down to rise to the top. In politics, there is always a credit war.
