I have 20+ years of experience in different companies (software and just using software);and I never ever heard of this behaviour.

I never changed job (Unusually work 2-4 years at one company) where I didn't have everything ready on my first day.

Ah. I live in the EU where they a person is quite expensive to onboard and it makes no sense to hire people to be idle.
