One of the things I can identify with is being the new guy on the team. I have done my fair share of MSP/Consulting work in the past and it gave me a great opportunity to learn. This isn’t to share how wonderful I am, but rather I can empathize with new members of a team.
In one company I worked at a new team member was onboarded and his role was the same as mine as a full time employee. I was thrilled. There was was too much work and I really needed help to get things done.
Why am I sharing this? I think we forget how difficult being a new employee is. If we can all offer to be a resource to someone and tell them we are committed to their success they will want to succeed and work in the company and help make our lives better. Its very selfish really.
Now some people might say “let them sink or swim on their own”. That is an expensive and cruel thing. If a little help gets the onboarding faster then lets do it.
