Never as easy as it seems

In any organization there is what is best? what is right? and what actually happens.

What I have been seeing lately is alot of internal politics which seems to directly stand in the way of what everyone knows is right. Being who I am I stay out of it but this carries its issues. To be seen as suitable for a higher post within my organization I need to get involved in this politics directly.

This has just been a lesson to me to be clear to myself what I need from my job and to strive for that and not just doing my job well. Age old rule that you need to being already doing the job to get the job.
