While mediating in a temple, I realised why I became a victim of office politics. These realizations hit me hard:
-
I trusted everyone blindly, thinking they were good people, but I was wrong. I need to sharpen my judgment and understand people’s true character.
-
I gave them my own vulnerabilities, which they later used to attack me. From now on, I won’t let anyone know my weak points. Instead I should have caught their weakness or vulnerabilities to defend myself from their evil corporate politics.
-
I let them dominate me, just because I didn’t want any conflict or tension. That made me even more vulnerable.
-
I wasn’t a chamcha — I didn’t blindly support the DPM or his sycophants. I questioned their wrong decisions, and that’s why I became a target.

Man, that realization hits deep and honestly, it’s something a lot of people learn the hard way.
You trusted too easily, stayed honest, avoided conflict, and they used that against you. That doesn’t make you weak it makes them cowards. But yeah, now you know: protect your peace, don’t hand people ammo, and learn to read the room without losing yourself.
Corporate politics is just survival in disguise sometimes.
