I've heard employees love those...

Pretty sure HR probably took care of that during the onboarding process
pseudoreality, the best advice I can offer you is to stay humble in your new role and when it comes to dealing with your employees, just don’t be a jerk. If you can manage to do both you’ll be fine, it’s really that simple. Don’t focus on making sure everyone likes you as a boss, focus on making sure they know they are respected and I guarantee that respect will be reciprocated. Most employees understand that their bosses have to make difficult decisions at times and that that can lead to difficult conversations. While you can’t always avoid those scenarios, so long as you treat people with respect it makes every situation(including the difficult ones) easier for you and your employees to deal with.
