I actually just started a new job and my first day was amazing. First, my boss gave me a tour of the office. Followed by showing me to my desk. On the desk was a working phone, monitors, folders, pens, paper, sticky notes, a tape dispenser, and two documents. The first document was essentially everything I needed to answer my spouse's questions about the new job (holidays, vacation accruals, pay dates, where to sign up for benefits, etc.). The second document was an org chart with everyone's name and title which was nice for reference when meeting new people. Shortly after wiping down the desk a person dedicated to getting my new laptop setup came in and made sure I had access to everything I would ever need. She literally brought everything new in box and started laying it all out for me. Next my immediate co-workers set about getting me access to systems and internal applications. By mid-afternoon on my first day I felt like I could start diving in and solving problems. It was a truly refreshing experience especially when you consider it was December 28th.
