Boss: Hello there! I’m David, your superior. I just wanted to check in. How are you doing so far? Is everything set up?
New hire: Hi David, yes, everything’s just fine. Thanks for asking. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I’m excited to learn the ropes.
Boss: Don’t worry, Amy. It’s normal to feel that way. We have a great team, and we’ll make sure you get up to speed quickly. Is there anything specific you’d like to know about the company or your role?
New hire: No, there’s nothing specific that comes to mind right now. Thank you for offering your support. I’m looking forward to learning more about the company.
