The Questions You Ask

My replacement at the business gig
started yesterday.
Spending the day with her
showed me how telling
those first day questions are.

What were her questions?

What are the standard working hours?
What are the tasks
I absolutely have to do?
How many coffee breaks can we have?
How long is lunch?

All of them communicated
that she was a 9 to 5’er
and that she would do
only the bare minimum in the job.

Which is fine
if that’s the same story
she communicated
in her interview
(I didn’t interview her).

Pay attention to your new hire’s questions.
They reflect her true concerns.
