Despite HR reminding their companies that good onboarding matters, most managers don't get the message. A recent survey found that only 52% of new hires feel satisfied with how theirs went, with 32% finding it confusing and 22% disorganized.
For better or worse, the old sharks also play a role in it. One way they do this is by highlighting the newcomer's lack of knowledge and/or experience.
A few days ago, Reddit user ArklaitGigabyte asked workers on the platform to share their industry's equivalent of "bring me blinker fluid" and their call was answered — as of now their post has 6.2K comments, many of which (hilariously) underscore the challenges of fitting into an unfamiliar professional environment.
