You know the top dogs do. - Flirt with people at work. You might get a raise, you might get sex. Either way, you can't lose. - Never let your career interfere with your hobbies. - Have a good cry at the office at least once a week. - Booze it up during business lunches. - If the copier jams while you're using it, bolt. - Interrupt people if they talk too slowly in meetings. - Avoid excessive eye contact with people. It gives them the creeps. So dive into the water with the rest of the sharks and reap your well-deserved failure.
