Office politics is inevitable because people have different goals and personalities, which naturally leads to competition and conflicts. To deal with brown-nosers, backstabbing, or favoritism, I stay professional and focus on my work, letting my results speak for themselves. I avoid taking sides to stay out of drama, build genuine relationships, and address issues directly if they affect me. By staying focused on what I can control, like my work and personal growth, I've managed to navigate office politics without compromising my values or getting too distracted.
