People work to make a living i.e. for survival. Survival is not easy. It was never easy and will never be easy. It’s just the way due to intense nature of mechanics of survival. Will you let some one else feed their kids while your kids are starving? It’s simply not possible.

It takes knowledge and skills to find a job. When you cannot update your skill set to be competitive in a changing job market, it brings insecurity which will force you to seek some kind of security by playing politics so as to protect mutual interests.

What to do in such circumstances?

Simply observe that people are acting to protect their self interests. Do your best to fulfill the tasks that are assigned to you in a timely manner and always be positive. Inefficiency and politics will not take people too far without having the right qualifications and skill set. Such people will end up paying for their wrong doings. There may be a new management that may not agree with the status quo or myriad other things that can detect negative attitudes of people and ultimately only people who are aligned with right goals will be able to succeed. Be patient and mindful of your activities and things will take care of themselves.
