Alice: Hey Pete, how was your first day at the new job?
Peter: Hi Alice, it was great! :)
Peter: I was introduced to my team and to my manager.
Peter: I got my laptop and desk.
Alice: How are your coworkers?
Peter: They seem great, they're very helpful.
Peter: The company has a buddy system.
Alice: Interesting, how does that work?
Peter: Each new employee is assigned a buddy for a month.
Peter: The buddy is an employee with seniority who is responsible for the knowledge transfer.
Peter: But also for other things like introducing me to other teams, showing where the kitchen is, the most important depts etc.
Alice: Oh that's great.
Alice: So you feel taken care of.
Peter: I sure do. The tasks also seem quite diverse.
Peter: And there are many possibilities of courses and development.
Alice: I don't think you'll have time to be bored :)
Peter: That's the plan :)
Peter enjoyed his first day at the new job. He has his own laptop and desk. There's a senior employee assigned to him to take care of the knowledge transfer, introducing to him other people and showing him places.
