When I started at my current job, nobody was present when I showed up to the office. Everyone was WFH. Nobody knew where my MacBook was being delivered to as I hadn't provided an address (I moved cities for the job), but it was in transit to somewhere. There was the usual onboarding documentation being out of date and inaccurate but that occurs everywhere.
Thankfully things got better or it would have been my shortest stint in a role ever. There was an understanding among my new colleagues as to how badly they fucked up.
