ber when you
started working
at your current
job? What sort

process did you
undergo? If you've been with the same com-
pany for decades, you likely didn't see much
of an onboarding process at all! If you're lucky,
your boss took you out to lunch on the first

welcomed with open arms into your new work
family, or were you basically tossed in the
pond and told to sink or swim?
