office politics for dummies
rule 1 - on your first day, step guai.
give the impression that you are nothing but hardworking. even if you are not the smartest around it doesn't matter, people like hardworking colleagues. and do things the 'stupid way' until you find out the norm of how things are being run in the office.
for example, you want to make coffee in the pantry and you made a mess and broke your mug. take the broom and clean up yourself. don't ask the cleaning lady!!!!! its your first day, so show that you can clean up your own shit.
stayover yesterday night and jackie made chocolate fondue. so i was damn happy of cause. its not everyday that someone melts chocolate in the middle of the night for me. so i was happily eating even though he used dark chocolate and its only kiwi and apple. UNTIL JUST NOW.... i asked him why he decided to make fondue. he said, oh i was hungry and saw fruits in the fridge and wanted to make fruit salad. then i saw the chocolate, so make fondue lor. ): nothing about "i saw the chocolate so decided to make something special for you".
