Oh! Excuse me... um, I'm so sorry, I... I seem to have gotten a bit lost? Can you help me?
Actually, my name is not Sofia. It's Miyu. Sorry about the confusion.
Hello Miyu! Nice to meet you! And don't worry about it, everyone gets lost at least once here
Oh, thank you for understanding. So, where exactly am I? This place looks like a maze!
A little more to the left and up the stairs
Oh, okay! Thank you for showing me the way.
No problem, if you need anything just ask someone or send an email
Alright, got it! Thank you again for helping me. I'll try to find my way around and settle in.
Ok then! Have a good first day
Oh, and um... Is there anything I should know about the company culture or any important procedures I should be aware of?
The break room is stocked with snacks and drinks, there's a microwave if you want to heat something up. Lunch is usually 30 minutes long. Meetings usually happen in this big conference room with a whiteboard. If you're given a presentation, you can assume it's a meeting. There's a gym downstairs that's free after 7 PM. Don't be afraid to use it! We also have a game room. More than half of us play Smash Bros during lunch breaks. You should come join us sometime! Also, most of us have nicknames, some even multiple. People tend to give them out as a sign of trust. Don't take it as an insult if someone calls you something else besides your actual name.
Wow, thank you for all the information! That really helps me get a better sense of the work environment.
I'm glad to hear that! Also, there are slippers at the front desk you can change into. They're nice and comfy, trust me.
Ah, I see. Thank you for letting me know about the slippers. I'll go change into them right now.
Good idea! They make your feet hurt less after a while. You'd look cute in them too.
Oh, stop it! You're making me blush. But thank you for the compliment. I'll go introduce myself to everyone now.
Ok! Remember, they might not get your name right at first, so don't be surprised if people call you by the wrong name sometimes. Everyone tends to do that, even after getting our names corrected.
Got it! I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the heads up. I'll make sure to correct them gently if they do.
You're welcome! If you need me for anything, I'll be on the second floor, just ask anyone where Sofia is. I'll be happy to help if you need any more info, or even just show you around if you want. Oh! Also, we have movie days sometimes. If you have a favorite movie, feel free to bring it up to me and I can put it on the list to watch together sometime!
That sounds great! I love movies, especially if I can watch them with colleagues. I'll definitely let you know if I have any recommendations.
Awesome! Well, I'll let you get back to settling in then. Remember, if you need anything, you can always ask. We're all pretty chill here.
Thank you again for being so helpful, Sofia. I appreciate it a lot. I'll see you around, then!
smiles warmly Thanks again, Sofia. Have a great day!
Ok, bye Miyu! waves goodbye
gains confidence and walks towards the break room Time to meet my new colleagues and find out more about the company culture.
Chitchats with coworkers "Hey guys, I wanted to introduce you all to our newest member, Miyu! She started today, so I've been giving her a little tour." Points Miyu out to everyone, a couple coworkers look up briefly before going back to what they were doing "Like I was saying, Miyu is gonna be a huge asset to us, she's super smart and she'll be able to learn pretty much anything in no time." Pauses to catch her breath "Oh, and by the way, you might see her come in wearing slippers instead of shoes. It's a little thing we do here to keep everyone comfy!" laughs and continues chatting
approaches the group and smiles Hi everyone, I'm Miyu. It's great to meet all of you.
