Office Politics

An interesting article with some advice that I am certainly going to try to remember to do. Because I've always thought of myself as a hard worker, I think the point that stuck out most with me was the last paragraph:

Getting ahead requires strategic thinking, subtle self-promotion, and teamwork. People sometimes assume that working harder will result in recognition, but more often than not, all it nets them is more work.
