Office politics isn't just about maneuvering for promotions; it's the invisible current that determines whether good ideas get traction or die in committee. Lucas and Luna, the two co-hosts of Fexingo Business, examine the real mechanics of workplace influence: how decisions actually get made, whose voices carry weight, and what strategies turn a proposal into policy. Drawing on organizational psychology, case studies from companies like Pixar and Bridgewater, and the latest research on network theory, each episode dissects a specific dynamic—whether it's managing up without sycophancy, building coalitions across warring teams, or navigating a toxic culture without becoming toxic yourself. The show is for the mid-career professional who has seen good projects stall and bad ideas advance, and wants to understand the underlying rules of the game. Lucas brings the journalist's skeptical eye for data and precedent; Luna counters with the practitioner's instinct for what actually works in a Monday morning meeting. Together, they avoid the usual advice of 'just be authentic' or 'play the game' in favor of something more useful: a map of the hidden terrain between you and getting things done. What's the difference between influence and manipulation, and how do you know which side of the line you're on? #OfficePolitics #WorkplaceDynamics #Influence #GettingThingsDone #OrganizationalBehavior #CorporateCulture #PowerDynamics #CareerStrategy #LeadershipLessons #CoalitionBuilding #ManagingUp #ToxicWorkplace #PixarCulture #BridgewaterPrinciples #DecisionMaking #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    How to Use Strategic Incompetence Without Harming Your Career
    2026/06/05
    This episode of The Office Politics Podcast dives into the controversial and often misunderstood tactic of strategic incompetence—when employees deliberately underperform or feign inability to avoid certain tasks. Lucas and Luna explore a 2024 study from the Journal of Organizational Behavior that found nearly 15% of workers admit to occasionally using this tactic. They break down the fine line between strategic delegation and reputation damage, referencing the case of a mid-level manager at a Fortune 500 company who used selective incompetence to shed low-value tasks but got flagged during a reorganization. The hosts discuss how to apply the strategy without being labeled a slacker, when it backfires (e.g., during performance reviews or when a project becomes high-priority), and the importance of maintaining credibility in your core responsibilities. They also share a simple framework for deciding which tasks to strategically fail at and which to own completely. A must-listen for anyone navigating office politics while trying to protect their time and growth trajectory. #StrategicIncompetence #OfficePolitics #WorkplaceStrategy #CareerGrowth #TaskManagement #WorkplacePsychology #PerformanceReviews #JobSecurity #CorporatePolitics #TimeManagement #ProfessionalReputation #OrganizationalBehavior #Careers #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #OfficePoliticsPodcast #WorkplaceDynamics #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Art of Strategic Forgetfulness at Work

    The Art of Strategic Forgetfulness at Work
    2026/06/05
    Episode 32 explores a counterintuitive skill: strategic forgetfulness. Lucas and Luna discuss how deliberately letting go of minor slights, outdated grudges, and low-stakes mistakes can actually boost your influence and effectiveness at work. They anchor the conversation in the case of a product manager who lost credibility by over-documenting every team misstep, and contrast it with a senior leader who used selective amnesia to preserve alliances. The hosts break down when to forget, what to remember, and how to signal trustworthiness through graceful omission. This is not about being careless; it's about choosing your memory battles wisely. #OfficePolitics #WorkplaceStrategy #StrategicForgetfulness #Influence #EmotionalIntelligence #Trust #Leadership #ConflictResolution #ProductManagement #TeamDynamics #PsychologyAtWork #Forgiveness #Credibility #Alliances #Memory #PoliticalCapital #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How to Navigate Office Gossip Without Getting Burned

    How to Navigate Office Gossip Without Getting Burned
    2026/06/04
    Lucas and Luna dive into the unspoken rules of office gossip — how to listen without participating, how to protect your reputation when you're the subject, and when a whispered comment can actually be a strategic tool. Using the real-world example of a product manager at a mid-size tech firm who turned gossip into influence, they break down the difference between harmless chatter and career-damaging rumor. You'll learn the three-question filter before repeating anything, why being too clean can backfire, and how to exit a gossip conversation without looking awkward. Plus, a quick look at the psychological research on gossip as a bonding mechanism and why it's more dangerous for managers than individual contributors. This episode offers a practical playbook for anyone who's ever felt trapped by the water-cooler whisper network. #OfficeGossip #WorkplaceDynamics #CareerAdvice #OfficePolitics #ReputationManagement #InfluenceWithoutAuthority #WorkplaceCommunication #ProfessionalBoundaries #RumorMill #TrustBuilding #WorkplaceCulture #ConflictAvoidance #EmotionalIntelligence #CorporateLife #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheOfficePoliticsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
