Is It Politics or Is It a Problem?

A Workplace Dynamics Decoder

Sort out what is happening at work, describe it clearly, and choose your response with intention.

When something at work feels wrong, it is tempting to reach for a label: toxic, political, unfair. Labels feel accurate in the moment, but they are hard to act on and easy to dismiss. This decoder helps you slow down, sort out what kind of situation you are in, and describe it in facts, so you can choose a response that fits.
