    Some offices do have a buddy system, where your buddy will make you easily acclimatise to the new surroundings. In fact, I was a buddy for a new employee, and helped him around the office. With a boss, the best thing is to set the expectations straight in the beginning itself - like 'Can you please specify what all is expected out of me', or 'Can you please specify how I can contribute more to the office in the short and long terms'.

          1. Do you have tasks assigned to you (bug fix, maintenance, new code, doc like specs and requirements...) ? If no, go see your boss for things to do. 2. Are you progressing on those tasks, Do you keep time in an official manner (online , offline) ? so you have issue trackers (for example, jira) 2. Are you reporting your progress to anyone, have you shown your boss what you do ? do you commit code, do you demo what you are working on ?

          I'd rather be phishing!

            I agree with you here but, OG was implying that. I am also aware of the fact that many people who follow Islam don't necessarily follow the no drinks suit, however assuming that they do is still a safer option, especially if you're new. I am of the belief, that having a few drinks together is one of the best ways to befriend someone, along with offering helping hand.

            That or going out to pinch a bit / have lunch or dinner or all at once. Main thing is go out of with them and do something together

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                Cats are banned in our house - The wife is allergic to them. Dogs: We are fairly agnostic to dogs. Taking care of them can be a nuisance. Kids: Well it depends on the kid. Some can be little horrors, but of course our grandkids are absolute little angels in all respects. :-D
