"Ever since I subscribed to your site the daily reminders are the only thing I read apart from email and the NY Times headlines and weather. I am hugely critical of most self-help information, but this is not what your site is. I save 1 in 2 of these and have kept a library folder. They are intelligent, concise, relevant and are pitched at exactly the right level." -Martin Chalk, CEO, Balance Water

Keep your mouth shut

Cwolf112

The worst thing you can do when you're starting a new job is to mouth off on what you think is wrong with your company. That's a surefire way to lose a lot of respect and trust. Best to keep your mouth shut for a little while, till you're really familiar with the company and maybe make a list with your ideas so when they DO ask for your opinion to improve things, you're ready!
