A story of entitlement and expecting a job to work like a kindergarten classroom. No matter how far companies go to cater to their privileged tech hires they get ridiculed, taken advantage of, discarded. Ask why these ridiculous onboarding processes exist in the first place.

Doesn't seem like they went even as far as to get a desk. Who are you defending?

In the last onboarding I endured, I was only assigned a desk after I finished after the process ended. Considering how the author claims that she unilaterally decided to skip the onboarding process and instead to present herself unannounced to what she assumed might be her workspace then it's better to take the accusations with a grain of salt.

Seems like your process sucked too.

That comment makes as much sense as whining that an onboarding process sucked because you were scheduled to start on a specific day instead of when you felt like it.

It doesn't make sense to you because it seems you're of the belief that onboarding processes should suck. If you don't feel that way, then you're less likely to discount them as signs of negative things to come, such as in this case.

You are the problem.
