Office politics are real, and dangerous. Just as there is likely merit to the judgements of those who judge colleagues harshly — so is it true that power politics in organizations can cause organizational drag, dumb down decisions, and damage careers. My point is that it is your response to both perceived and real machinations that either amplifies or moderates these dysfunctions.

Possible duplicate of Politics: singular or plural? See nohat's comment (which really should be referenced and then the accepted answer). / This question lacks any signs of research (other than anecdotal and one example). Is there no dictionary addressing this? ... Yes. AHD and Collins deal with this thoroughly. – Edwin Ashworth Nov 18 '17 at 09:43

There is no actual question here. But I'm going to assume that @user267542 thinks that politics should be singular and is asking about that. – Andrew Leach Nov 18 '17 at 10:36

Politics is what we do to avoid having civil wars. This is a singular use. Beyond that, the concepts and issues raised in the post would seem to be a better fit on politics.stackexhange.com. – Xanne Nov 18 '17 at 11:58
