How to deal with nepotism at work place..?

"Nepotism, a polite way of saying that You do not have any chance in hell of ever being promoted..."

                                                                  -Unknown

Nepotism and favoritism is in our blood. During our childhood, when we were unaware of the other things, like what's right or wrong, but we were totally aware of that  particular toys or games or whatever that was our favorite. So this play of favoritism was present in us from that time. 

With time, the toys are replaced by peoples, like we only talk or meet with those peoples who are our favorite.

This very same thing is happening at the workplace too. So here I am suggesting about a few ideas that how one can try to deal  with nepotism and with people who are doing this..

1. Positive Attitude

2. Collect data of great work that you have done for the company

3. Talk about it with only selected peoples

4. Do your research before initiation of a project

5. Forget about emotions

6. Work on yourself

  Positive Attitude 

Not getting recognized for that work in which you have put all your efforts, hurts. But reaching office with an afflicting face will not cure your problem, it will increase though. So always maintain a positive attitude at work towards everyone, like towards your boss or your colleagues. yeah! I mean they have done unfair things with you, that's okay, just forget about that and be yourself.

Collect data of your great work

So, you have done something or like given an idea to your boss which enhances the profits of the company, always remember that. Because whenever you claim the things like nepotism or cronyism, they are always going to ask your contribution in the company.

Talk with only selected peoples

Not everyone at your workplace is your friend. Be familiar with this thing. They are your competitors. Right?. So whenever you have to talk in this topic, talk with a much senior person with proofs, who is away from all these unfair things and is also trustworthy.

Do research before initiation of a project

Okay, not everyone in the company is supporting nepotism, so whenever you have a chance that you can prove yourself in front of the board members or seniors, don't miss that golden opportunity. Like always do your homework about the particular project which is going to be start next day. This will help you in creating your good side of work in front of them and surely they would provide you such type of opportunities in future, rather than to those nepotistic peoples. 

Forget about emotions

You was working for the company from last 2 years very hard, but the promotion goes to the 2 months old employee, who's boss favorite. Now you are full with anger and all, so when your boss came in front of you, You argued with him. What would happen then? You will lose your reputation in front of everyone. So always control your emotions and carefully handle everything.

Work on yourself

Always try to improve yourself, so that you can prove yourself, not only in front of those flattery peoples but also in front of everyone.This will not only increase your confidence but also increase your value.
