NYC Politicians Take Sarbox Stance
NYC Politicians Take Sarbox Stance A new McKinsey report says New York is poised to lose more than 60,000 jobs in the next five years, and $25 billion in cash, if securities and Sarbanes-Oxley regulations aren't revised as soon as possible. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Sen. Charles Schumer were slated to "unveil" the report, which was commissioned by the city. The report recommends adopting looser, principles-based regulations. New York Governor Eliot Spitzer admits that his support of the report would doubtless "raise eyebrows" given his quest to end crime on Wall Street when he was the state's attorney general. Nonetheless, he says, parts of Sarbox that are "burdensome" should be changed. One observer notes that the study seems to be skewed; it discusses only the "banking side" of financial services and doesn't address problems that may or may not exist on the listing side.

| Article: | Plan For New Job Success |
 |
|
|
By Ramon Greenwood, Senior Career Counselor
Every year hundreds of thousands of careerists--from those carrying freshly minted diplomas through veterans in the workplace--start new jobs.
One-fourth of those don't survive the first year of their new job, according to a study by The Employment Foundation. Nearly half are out the door in 18 months, reports Leadership IQ, a training firm.
The message is clear: recognize the extreme importance of getting off on the right foot from day one on a new job. Performance in the early days will often provide strong and lasting indicators for both employee and employer as to how a new hire will perform. Fair or unfair, first impressions have a lasting effect on success.
Here are nine basic guidelines that can be helpful in making the most of the new job: - Work, work, work and then work some more. No substitute, no short cut will replace work. This means more than working diligently from eight to five. Take work home for nights and on weekends. Near total immersion in the job is recommended.
- Arrive early on the job and stay late. Get to work at least 30 minutes before the specified starting time for the first several months. Often, the boss is also in early. It's a great time to get better acquainted with her. Stay a while after the regular hours. Clean up your personal work place. Make a list of actions to be taken the next day.
- Don't expect to conquer the world in six months. But realize the scoreboard is operating from day one.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek help when needed. To do so is a sign of strength not an admission of weakness, as is often assumed. Seeking assistance, intelligently, shows confidence and desire to do the job. Acquire a mentor as soon as possible. Find someone who has been around the track to provide coaching and share experiences.
- Observe how things "really get done." Learn how the machinery of the organization works. (This is likely to be quite different from what's spelled out in the policy and training manuals.) Absorb the folklore.
- Don't join cliques or deal in office politics. Leave the gossip to others.
- Respect the hierarchy. The organization is bigger and stronger than any one person. The new boy in the neighborhood can't change it in the beginning. Recognize and respect there's a chain of command; everybody has a boss. Rebels rarely survive for the long haul.
- Know the business of the business... the mission of the organization, what it does and what values it represents. Learn how the job fits into the overall picture.
- Adapt to the environment. Observe the style of dress - casual or more buttoned down? - and be guided by it. Is business done in an informal manner or strictly by the rules? By memos and formal meetings or by face-to-face discussions and chance meetings in the hallway?
It just makes common sense to recognize that those who go contrary to these guidelines make life difficult for themselves and raise the odds against their success. Who needs that?
Ramon Greenwood is a former Senior Vice President of American Express, and career counselor. He is now senior career counselor for Common Sense At Work.
