Would *YOU* want to go to work for some company without ever having met your
new supervisor or co-workers?  If you were hiring someone to work closely
with you, would you hire an obnoxious twit with good credentials, when you
could find someone more or less equally qualified whom you could get along
with?

If you EXPECT to hate your job, your co-workers, your supervisors, and your
employees, this plan will help things to live down to your expectations.
