Answer 2 :
If you want to avoid unnecessary politics, open your own office. Politics in the workplace are unavoidable, unfortunately.
Answer 3 :
Unfortunately there isn't an organisation that is void of "unnecessary politics" politics - as in power struggles is par of the course. It always is when money and ambition and control are involved. Newer organisations tend to have less harmful unpleaseant power struggles but i find that they tend to develop within a year. Dealing with politics is a skill in the same way that being a team player is. Being able to deal with team dynamics effectively as a colleague or a leader is a form of politics - you have to negotiate, be tactful, sometimes be forceful and sometimes tow the line. It sucks sometimes but thats the real world.
Answer 4 :
Every workplace in the world, no matter how big or small, has office politics. Where human beings are together it's unavoidable. The trick is to learn them fast. What makes organisations good to work for is not just the salary and benefits package, but the actual relationshps with colleauges. If you don't all manage to get along (and that doesn't mean you all have to be bosom buddies) then it can make for some very long days. Learning the politics is the key.

Answer 9 :
Some would argue all politics is unnecessary. In my experience there are two kinds of politics that go on in companies - the type which is open and understandable and the type that is done through insecurity, spite and for general issues related to dysfunctional people and organisations. Oddly enough the company that declared to me 'there is a lot of politics going on here' was the easiest to work with because the politics was out in the open. Those that say 'there is not politics here' will turn out to be full of power players and back stabbers. Or that is my experience. All companies are dysfunctional to some degree, it's more about the attitude of folks you work with. Usually the bigger the company the bigger then chance for the company to be dysfunctional on an ingrained level. The best way to avoid politics is to find a good, balanced small company with a sensible growth rate - that and take your work with a pinch of salt. Most jobs make no real difference to the world so it's not worth getting to worked up about, unless you happen to be a doctor or something that directly affects people...
