 Posted: 08/04/03 - 12:26 Post subject: there's a new kid in town...
We have a new guy starting in my dept today, which doesn't happen often (not a lot of turnover here) so the whole place is making 'casual' walks by his cube. So far, all I can assess is a slight resemblence to Buster Poindexter. Crossed with Dilbert.
I'll keep you posted.
How do you haze, I mean, welcome new people at your place?

New people? That must be nice to work at a place that HIRES people.
Our hazing involves losing your pay, benefits, and carrying your personal belongings in a box.
With over 3 years of service, I'm still the "new" guy.
Here is one:
Ask him if he has worked with TPS Reports before.
If he gets the reference, he is cool.
If he doesn't, he might try to look them up OR he might lie and act like he knows all about them.
Either way, it should be an informative experience.

Use his belt buckle as a mirror to see if you have anything stuck in your teeth after lunch.

Don't get me started. Its really dumb they even hired this guy. They are threatening our benefits, yet hire a new guy in an already overstaffed dept (thus the amount of time I can devote to this website, getting another degree, shopping online...)
I've got 3 years here too, and I'm also part of the 'new people' crowd. It gets a little old.
If he doesn't know what TPS reports are, he will very very soon. This job scarily similar to that movie.
I take back Buster Poindexter, I got a bad angle on him the first walkby. I actually got an intro and I'm going to say Dilbert meets a really red faced Drew Carey.

Back in the days of drafting boards we used to send the new guy looking for the "paper stretcher". If everybody played along as expected we could keep him busy for a full morning.... now we're afraid to do anything like that. It isn't PC anymore to torment rookies.

I think someone seriously has put him to 'work' 'reading' merrill lynch statements.   if he's still conscious in another hour I think he's a keeper for the job.

If we had to use drafting boards, I'd be out of a job.
