I had a similar experience at a technology company in 2015. Onboarding had no training, no desks, nothing. Thrown into a Cubicle farm, with terrible chairs, and they put my desk right next to the kitchen that had a pool table. So while I’m trying to take calls from clients, there’s people literally playing pool behind me.

Took forever to get a decent office chair, then they started moving us around, a few months go by, and then we had to move to another cubicle. Then another building.

Logins wouldn’t work. Benefits, pay, nothing was up-to-date, and it got even worse when they instituted a clocking in system. People would just clock in, and then clock in all their friends at the same time. It was ridiculous.

I left about the time one of my coworkers had a heart attack and died at his desk.

All that to say, the on boarding sucked, and all of the problems that came after that were compounded upon that very bad on-boarding.
