Passing on the knowledge:
As I am in a good mood. I have given this advice before.
You should get to know the key staff.
Security. They will let you in or not throw you out when you should not realy be there if you are friendly with them. Helps with th ehours etc.
They usualy know when the place will have problems.
The Secretary. She runs the show. She will make sure your time sheet is signed and invoice is chased should the need arrise. She knows who is who. She will make things happen if you need it.
The cleaners. Nobody wants a dirty desk. More importantly they get to go everywhere and hear and see things others dont. Brilliant for gossip. As they are normaly outside contractors they usualy know when the place is being downsized.
Your team including PM and managers are secondary to the above and are only important to the immediate work.
HTH. Anybody want to add to or modify that list.
