office politics for dummies
rule 2 - never make enemies.
try laying low for the first few weeks. see who go for lunch with who, who comes to work together, who leaves together, who don't talk to who. join them for lunch, and listen to their conversations and join when they talk about general stuff, but keep quiet when they are talking about a boss or fellow workmate. and until you figure out who each person really is, never step on their tail. because you will never know who might be friends with your boss' boss. meanwhile, just get along with everyone. make friends with the receptionist and all the secretaries too. most likely they are the ones with the gossips. and lastly, give a happy face. always.
i didn't get the guts to jaywalk and hope for the worse, i chose to believe in you. in us.
