It's any ugly situation, no? I'm already experiencing it full impact. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the same time, trying to protect oneself. Sigh.

Welcome to the real world, my dear.
I was backstabbed yesterday by a colleague - claimed all the credit for the work I had done - blamed me for all the dirt. Worst of all is everyone believes her. I can't tell you the details here.. *sigh*
Try not to get too involved, it will turn very very ugly Its something that will happen everywhere, is how early we find out bout it and how many sides there are
hhmmm...try not being influnce by it..i know u can overcome this...just first few weeks only...dun give up jus yet!!! jus share with relevant person in the company to overcome ur doubts or problem...
Office politics are everywhere, even in hospital settings (and to think that doctors are supposed to be compassionate people).
Being ignorant about it is unwise, as you may end up getting caught in the midst of it all -- hence you'll be the unlucky victim.
Playing the politics, well, is not recommended especially since you're still new in the work environment. It still isn't a nice thing to play around it.
You've got to KNOW what's going on, and that helps you to avoid office politics. Know who likes/dislikes who.
Say "yes" to your boss. If you think your boss may be wrong, asked him/her opinion regarding the alternative method (instead of telling him/her what you think. No one likes a smart ass). If your boss ask for something you've not done, don't say "not done" or "don't have". Say "I'll get it done as soon as possible..." or "I'll find out and get it for you". It's the way you say it.
Keep updating your boss regarding the progress of your work. This way, when the results come out, your colleague can't take all the credit because your boss knows you've been working.
Among your colleagues, everyone wants to protect their own interest. That's human nature. See the bigger picture when people are calculative. It's just a small matter in the bigger picture. One day, you may need his/her help, so it pays not to be calculative with anyone. Know who is malignant, so avoid him/her.
When you have some free time, look busy. Do something. Or pretend you're doing something. Because when you're busy, no one sees you. When you are exhausted and finally take some rest, that's when your senior will come around and see how lazy you are at work.
Most importantly, leave work at the workplace. You have to have your own social life for a balanced lifestyle.
this is the 4th time i post up same reply to comments so lazy to type again d personal replies. but yes i sooooooooo agree with all of you, and thanks dr kerwin for the tips hehe
