On her first day to office , Amy was guided to her workstation but then no one turned up !
She didn’t know how to log in to her system.
She didn’t know the people sitting around her. Her supervisor was nowhere and she had no idea about what she was expected to do on her first day.
She asked a stranger for help with the printer, only to later discover that the stranger was the CFO.
She felt highly embarrassed and confused in whom to approach and what to do!
