Considering most places I've worked at in the last couple of years, that would mean that every day was comprised of:

- Trying to get a working computer and/or network account - Being interrupted every 5 minutes for introductions - Wondering where the hell to get lunch from around here - Filling out paperwork - Reading way too many pages of HR-written 'employee handbooks' and 'acceptable use policies' - Not being given any actual work until after the first day or so, because everyone knows that the first day is a write-off.

TBH he said "act like a new employee", not "act like an employee on his first day of work".
