What's The Best Way To Deal With Office Politics? Backstabbing, Of Course
March 3, 2012
If you've ever worked in an office, it's highly likely that you've had to deal with office politics. It's nasty, and it's one of the more undesirable aspects of life in the workplace. No doubt, it's something you would want to leave behind in your office when you get off work. So, an app that lets you relive office politics outside your real-world office isn't such a good idea, right? Well, you might want to give it a try if you get to have fun backstabbing your officemates. (Cue maniacal laugh.)
Office Politics: Backstab is a universal iOS game, released just yesterday, that rehashes the classic game of wack-a-mole and appropriates it to an office environment. Playing the game involves following the story of a certain office stereotype and backstabbing your colleagues on your way up the corporate ladder. From Hypocrites to Shadow Ninjas, from Two-Face co-employees to Pretenders, from Office Bimbos to Old Birds, your favorite office stereotypes (if any) are all accounted for. The game will pit you against 13 different types of enemies and six despicable bosses in 18 distinct environments. There are also 26 achievements to gun for as you play.
Make a stab at Office Politics: Backstab by downloading it in the App Store for $0.99. To paraphrase a popular saying: All work and no backstabbing makes Jack a dull white-collar worker.
