Sam Grobart, Money, Jan. 2007, Vol. 36, Iss. 1, p40-41.

Just get a new job? Don’t get started on the wrong foot. The following article offers advice to people who are new employees and building professional relationships with their co-workers. The author advises resisting the impulse to try to impress coworkers with brilliant new ideas, as they may be threatened by a new person. Also, don’t try to be a comedian; instead be pleasant and polite. New employees should let their work speak for them. Learn the culture of the workplace, and let your work speak for itself.
