Re: Who Here is Good at Playing ...

The only thing I am good at is being surprised when people in the office tell me things (gossips) that I already know.

Not sure how that'll help though.

They are listening in on our conversations, both our person to person and telephone conversations, reading our emails when we go for lunch (if somoene has left their email program running). They are reporting anything potentially damaging to a person's future emplyment with the company to a surperior.
And no, I'm not being paranoid! I have proof this has been going on.

Re: Who Here is Good at Playing ...

I am not good at office politics, but it sounds like they are going above and beyond with this little covert operation. That is a serious hunt just to uncover petty matters so do you have any idea what the purpose is?

If I were stuck on finding out who it was, then I suppose I would pick out a few suspects, verbally communicate some different innocuous misinformation to each of them, and see what comes back. However, I would recommend that you just keep your nose clean, watch your back, and leave it alone. In some situations it is better to be out of sight and out of mind.

Tulip, that's almost exactly what I was about to say. &quot;Keep your nose clean&quot; by saying very little or nothing negative about the others... Let them do unto each other what they should not do unto you...

Never played.

If you can, watch the person who is being reported to, and their interaction with everyone else, anyone avoided or overly picked on is a suspect.

Office poltics is nessesary in order to build a team... It is not simply people are bad mine... Tgere are struggles for resources..

Being technically proficent is not the sole reason for being succesful. You have to interact with in the team.. It is managing relationships..Both up and down

To catch the informer...
Cotch up a little webcam in your office or cubicle and leave it running to film the idiot.

To get the informer off your back...
- Never, ever use company e-mail for personal messages
- Lock your computer when you go on break and/or set it to lock after a very brief period of inactivity (say 2 minutes)
- Use short phrases or sentences as passwords rather than single words or important dates (confound them with passwords in patois! LOL)
- Take/make personal calls on your cell and leave your desk
