If you are too good at your job then you won't be promoted as your boss cannot afford to lose you, however if you aren't good enough your boss won't respect you and you won't get anywhere. It's about being a team player but also about standing up for yourself when you need to. Office politics is boring, however you need to know how things work in the jungle, otherwise you will be eaten. I think some of this is good, however others are not so good.
