Work, Jerk

These are some hints on how to save your job, from the CNN Money web site. They summarize nicely what I hated about working for large organizations.

DON'T ask for a raise or a promotion. Be patient, and be grateful for now that you've got a job.
DO volunteer for more work.
DO arrive early and stay late.
DON'T be eccentric. Now's the time to fit in completely.
DO feel your boss's pain.
DON'T be high maintenance.

That's not to say that there aren't good tips there, but why do so many boil down to Sit Down, Shut Up, Do More, Accept Less, and Be Grateful?
