Finally, I found some ways to navigate the office drama, no… Surely not the end point where we could work happily ever after, but still a huge improvement.

• Set clear boundaries! People in the office are surprisingly able to feel your boundaries ( if you have it)
• Stop making your personal life a headline in office news. In today’s staged world, every one loves to put myriad personas just to get what they want.
• Never ever being the rude mouth in the office, these people remember your bitter remarks for decades.. I repeat: decades.
• Don’t play “hollier than thou” – game, people will put you under a microscope then,you will be scrutinized deep into your soul.
• Enjoy solo lunch. It’s good for your health.
• Remove yourself off whenever you feel that the situation of gossiping or whatever draining conversation that you have, is ‘unbearable’. Just leave, your sanity is much more important than this.
