Starting a new job - tips

Okay, crisp tenner for each tester to get all the bugs through to production.
Fifty for the nympho looking girl in accounts, it might pay off later.
Another fifty for hiring manager, near renewal time.

I think that's all the important tips covered?

Make sure that you don't leave your spirit lying around willy-nilly to get crushed accidentally on purpose.

Keep your spirit locked away and don't get your willy-nilly out in case it gets crushed accidentally.

Don`t let them crush you or your spirit. It`s a hard unforgiving world out there and you need to work hard for your money.

- Spot the good looking lasses at work.
- Oggle at their tits constantly.
- Figure out the type of knickers the lasses at work usually wear. Keep away from butt-flossers.
- Spend plenty of time in the bogs.

Have I missed something ladies?

Do ensure ringer on mobile is at low volume, forgetting to do that really announces you have arrived in style and limits blending in ...

If you really have problems with names just bring some extra sticky post it notes and sticker everyone - the forehead is a good place.
I am sure they really will not mind especially if you explain it away as akin to doing critical path analysis like wot real PMs used to not so many years ago.

Failing that just hide in plain sight for a few days till you can creep about unnoticed.

This is in General isn't it?

It's permie focussed but there are some helpful thoughts in this podcast.

Main theme - fit in and start developing relationships with people. Don't try and effect huge change in the first few weeks unless you're specifically being brought in to rescue a failing programme or something.
