Which picture reflects the word office politics?

Please identify these things?

Is there real politics?

What are the side effects of the office politics?

Can we term this as a poison?

Should this poison keep away?

10% action and 90% reaction

Stay in­touch but avoid gossip!

Don't align too strongly with one group!

Don’t allow anyone to get something on you that can be used later!

Know your boundaries and limitations!

Play by the rules!

Watch and listen carefully!

Learn to read the winds of change!
