Is office politics an Indian phenomenon or does it also happen in abroad?

Bro we just saw a coup happen in OpenAi last month. Office politics happens everywhere.

Happens in the US too in my experiences. But I felt it was less intense in the US than in India. I think it would probably be present in some intensity everywhere since politics is mainly driven by human nature and psychology. This also makes it very difficult to get rid of it. We might be able to get rid of office politics by doing what we did to get rid of other things driven by human nature - make it socially unacceptable. If people participating in office politics become looked down upon and even reprimanded, there would be fewer incentives to participate.

Happens everywhere. Human phenomenon

I work with a global team across multiple markets and have lived & worked in North America. Office politics is a global phenomenon 😅

Have worked in geographically distributed companies for more than a decade. Petty politics is seen primarily in India. But, politics is extremely high when you've NRI bosses based out of US. There's a lot of distrust. Not much seen in European offices. They're very straightforward.

Can you define office politics ? Like what all come under it and what doesn't ?

100% happens aboard too

I don’t think it happens in europe as folks care more about their personal life and balance than work and some societies are more equal out there.

In middle East and asean countries intensity of politics is high compared to western countries

Present everywhere but more in India since more competition for the same promotion

Wherever you see politicians, there’s politics. Amen!

Happens everywhere

Indian

Office politics is everywhere. Western markets its limited to Key position/promotions. ITs limited to areas that have signifiacnt bugets. In our country, politics is spread across board, even for small brownie points.
