Hello Mary Ann, I reckon the changes by Medium are working!!! I saw 8 mins and thought Nah! Then I ok a closer look and glad I stayed. Your article was funny, sad and effective. I have worked for other people and myself for more than 30 years and your description of a workplace introduction pre-date Millennials. I suspect the Dragon thing has been going on forever. I remember how those that were supposed to mentor\help me find my feet in a new job role, would more often sit and watch me struggle and have very little empathy to offer the answers that they knew, to get me out of a jam.
I am so pleased that when I have had the mentor role or selected someone to pair up with a new employee, that there will be no funny business on my watch! Everyone in the team gets the message and yes they`ll be written procedures as well!
Thank you once again for a thoughtful and well-written article.
Wilfred
