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.
I find it interesting that he published this article on LinkedIn, as opposed to Google+, his blog, etc. It's cross-posted to Google+, but the article lives in LinkedIn.
