When arriving in an unfamiliar situation it is solid advice that while waiting to acclimate "Be a gentleman and don't lie".
While we are figuring out a new situation like a job it is advisable that we do not know enough of the work procedures or social dynamics to let our personality fly full force. But what does a person do in the meantime because first impressions are important.
Be kind and courteous to people, show up on time, and do what you say you will do. This is a great foundation to be able to pivot from in the future.
Even if this is your final version of your work personality it will get you far.
So if you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation and need a maxim to anchor on to then "Be a gentleman and don't lie"
