Office politics

Office politics

I was acutely aware of the importance of the office politics. Because of this, most of my colleagues thought I was a workaholic; who I never smiled at them. Initially, I had refused to accept many/some/certain incredible remarks. In contrast, I was proud of my talent and abilities, as I could deal with tough matters effectively all the times. Afterwards, I was able to understand why they would say/think that. I had to admit that I am somewhat arrogant and big-headed, indeed. I was focused on work without developing a good relationships with [my] (You can take out the word /my/ here to sound more natural, as an option.) coworkers. I can't wait to change this sort of status.

I find found a mentor, Elizabeth, who is an expert at office politics. If you'd like to get respect, you should, also, be respectful to your colleagues. Firstly, don't humiliate or attack your colleagues, and be careful not to make enemies. You should learn to accept and forgive them for their mistakes. Remember that (w)hat goes around comes (back) around. Secondly, do nice things for people when the opportunities comes up/arises. Be supportive of your coworkers, and they will support you. Also, develop good relationships with high levels. (I underlined this because I am confused by your meaning here with "high levels". Please explain.) He or she can advocate for you when you are considered for a promotion.

Once I heard these advice regarding respect, I was so thrilled. Perhaps, I am rational without sufficient EQ. Nevertheless, I am trying to change my behavior and get along well with others. Script a wonderful life.
