Workplace Politics

Power to Cope with Workplace Politics

At first when you listen to Dan as he shares his adventures in the workaday world, it doesn’t seem there is any politicking involved. But as his story develops, where his little wife slugs one man who was trying to cheat them, and another “friend” bad mouths him to the boss and he loses his position after working for the company a few decades, one wonders how Dan kept his sense of humor!  But Dan did what he could to make the best of each situation. One had to wonder how he maintained his warm sense of humor—until you considered he was asked by his betrayer for forgiveness over a decade after the man’s bad-mouthing story cost him his career—yet in practically the next breath, Dan extended unquestioning forgiveness to him! That had to be the source of his Power To Cope—an absolute unquestioning refusal to carry anger in his heart, because he’d invited God to live there instead!
