Singular: Since you are talking about a noun in particular  and in the sentence, e.g., “...an employee’s promotion opportunities. "  the indefinite article is used before the noun, so I have changed the word  ''opportunities" to ''opportunity" in your writing. e.g.,  "...an employee’s promotion opportunity. " Agreement - Kindly note  that, in simple present tense, if the subject is the third person singular,  the verb form should be 'verb+ 's' or 'es' whereas if the subject is in any  other form we don't add 's' or 'es' with the verb, e.g., "...real  politics which deal with power..."

When I look into the corporate culture in modern society,  I find that office politics support a Chinese saying: “Personality make  differences between success and failure.” Besides skills, personality plays a  major role in office ladder climbing, an employee’s promotion opportunity.  Scared or deterred, many new office employees hesitate to participate in  office politics. They think it is too complicated to deal with. Actually, it  isn’t as real politics that deal with power, balances, policies, resources  and distributions. “Office politics” is a metaphor. It is mainly the  management of personal relationships with colleagues, making you fit into the  team, fit into your position. Basically, it involves manners and etiquettes  in a long run. It’s not difficult for young people to learn new etiquettes,  even from different cultures, when they start going social, and practice them  very well; the difficulties for them are to observe those rules longtime and  behave themselves always. Some in office become careless, while some others are  backstabbers, playing tricks and plots. Certainly, they will fail themselves  not long after. Knowing the true meaning of office politics will help us to  face it and engage within. As I see it, office politicsissimple and easy.  Just engage yourself and behave yourself as you do in a dating or in a party  for fun, and remember this is continuing every day. Practice social etiquettes  and manners; digest them, integrate them into your personality. Then you will  do well in office politics, and in nature.
