Topics:
◉ The workplace is all about people...always has been.
◉ Welcome to the night shift...shared goals and shared enemies.
◉ The importance of dark humor.
◉ My aversion to people that are phony...
◉ The importance of personalities.
◉ Sometimes other people can point out the flaws in you.
◉ Speak up immediately, so your disdain doesn't fester for too long.
◉ Figure out sooner rather than later if you can survive in a workplace.
◉ Form alliances but don't sacrifice personal identity.
◉ Always have an 'outside tribe' so you never lose track of yourself.
