An
employee is hired at a company. It is first day and is having an orientation
about his workplace. The employee is being shown around the office and is even
way too much information regarding his job, his surroundings, and co-workers.
As I was reading it, I felt overwhelmed, I could not imagine being the
employee. I also thought it was funny because of all of the details included.
Quotes
from the reading:
·
Those are the offices and these are the cubicles.
That’s my cubicle there, and this is your cubicle. This is your phone. Never
answer your phone. Let the Voicemail System answer it.
·
You must pace your work. If you have
twelve hours of work in your in-box, for example, you must compress that work
into the eight-hour day. If you have one hour of work in your in-box, you must
expand that work to fill the eight- hour day.
·
Feel free to ask questions. Ask too many
questions, however, and you may be let go.
·
Russell Nash, who sits in the cubicle to your
left, is in love with Amanda Pierce, who sits in the cubicle to your right.
·
This is the fire exit. There are several on this
floor, and they are marked accordingly. These are precautions only.
These things never happen.
·
This is the micro wave oven. You are allowed to
heat food in the microwave oven. You are not, however, allowed to cook food in
the microwave oven.
·
Barry Hacker, who sits over there, steals food
from this refrigerator. His petty theft is an outlet for his grief. Last New
Year’s Eve, while kissing his wife, a blood vessel burst in her brain.
·
Do not touch the shredder, which is located over
there. The shredder is of no concern to you.
·
If you have problems with the photocopier, see
Russell Nash. If you have any questions, ask your supervisor. If you can’t find
your supervisor, ask Phillip Spiers. He sits over there. He’ll check with
Clarissa Nicks. She sits over there. If you can’t find them, feel free to ask
me. That’s my cubicle. I sit in there.
