Engaging with office dramas, petty politicking, or serious rumbles of corruption requires a high-minded approach right now. If someone’s invading your boundaries or waging an emotional blackmail campaign — don’t take the bait. Count to ten in the bathroom or blast heavy metal in your noise-canceling headphones. Even as folks are flying off the handle over clashing ideologies, your best move is to hang back and take notes. By drafting a solid plan for what urgently needs to change in your workplace, you’ll come bearing constructive solutions rather than further fuel for the dumpster fire.
