Working in a very competitive office can be highly stressful. It's no fun bonding with co-workers who want to outdo you at every given opportunity.



More often than not, bosses ignore excessive competition in their departments as they feel it promotes greater efficiency. But at times, it leads to in-fighting, backbiting and overtly aggressive behaviour. Here are some tips to survive and remain sane in such a workplace:

Stay focused
Always do your work meticulously. Don't get distracted because of the dramas or gossip happening around you. Strictly avoid backbiting or gossiping about colleagues/boss as it might be used against you. So, make sure you are always on track as far as work's concerned. This will guarantee you job security.u00a0
