" Dear Cubicle Coach: My consulting firm just oversaw the downsizing of a client, and the company--or what&amp;#039;s left of it anyway--was so impressed by my insights that they&amp;#039;ve offered me a job. The survivors there are going to hate me, knowing I helped oust their friends. How do I warm them up so they&amp;#039;ll be happy to work with me? Dear Axe Man/Woman: Looked at another way, your beneficence has spared all of them, so maybe they&amp;#039;ll treat you like Ra, the Sun God. Your bigger problem is that they&amp;#039;ll suspect you&amp;#039;re there to spy on them and find further &amp;quot;redundancies&amp;quot;--i.e., can as many of the remaining workforce as possible. Maybe you&amp;#039;re really good and can win them over with your brilliance and sparkling personality. But you might be better off passing up the offer and staying on with the consultants--or as an old boss of mine referred to their ilk, &amp;quot;Capons who tell roosters how to screw.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
