Welcome to the Team, Jason!

Allison: Welcome to the distributed team, Jason! Could you tell everyone where you're based and what you're working on?

Jason: Thanks, Allison! I'm based in Edinburgh, and I'm joining the cross-functional backend squad as a senior developer.

Hannah: Awesome. Do you know who your onboarding buddy is going to be for your first two weeks?

Jason: I think my line manager mentioned someone named Mark, but I haven't received my official org chart yet.

Allison: That's right, Mark will help you set up your local repository and show you our shared calendar.

Hannah: Could you share something interesting that people don't know about you yet?

Jason: Well, something funny happened last Friday on the train from London. I argued with a stranger about coffee beans for twenty minutes.

Allison: Oh really? Did you convince him that your favorite roast is better?

Jason: Not at all! He disagreed completely and told me I didn't understand software architecture either.

Hannah: Wait a minute… What did that stranger look like?

Jason: He had grey hair, wore a black hoodie, and kept talking about microservices and caffeine.

Allison: Oh no! That was Arthur, our Chief Technology Officer!

Jason: Are you serious? I thought he was just a confused commuter!

Hannah: That's the best onboarding story in the history of our company. Welcome aboard!
