Presenting reason #5 why I love* my company...
New people starting at my work is a weird thing. Aside from the 3 managers, the rest of the department has no idea someone new is coming in. We've had 3 new people start within the last couple of months, and they just show up and are put into the department. Whenever there have been new hires at my previous employers, we'd get an e-mail a few days before saying, "Hey, Steve Johnson is going to be starting with us on Monday - he's got 6 years of experience doing ___, and let's make sure to welcome him to the team."
Nope, not here. Looking back on my first day here, I remember getting quite a few weird looks from people like, Who the f is this guy and what is he doing here? Sadly, it's a cycle that keeps on repeating itself. New people are pretty much left to fend for and establish themselves.

Yeah, I know that feeling. When one of my good friends started, I thought she was a temp, because they'd "let go" of the other woman and hired her. It was like a 2 month process and no one knew anything because they never announced it. All of a sudden, she was just there!
It's kind of annoying, no?
