That’s the building. The one with boarded windows and barely any light inside. There the front door and there’s the back door. We enter through the back and everyone else goes through the front. When you enter, you have to show the guy in the black suit your Identification. Don’t ever forget to or else you might be thrown out. That corridor is to the dimly lit rooms and those stairs are to the brightly lit but freezing rooms. We must go down the stairs first and lock our things away. Don’t forget to change, you must change and look clean and natural. Remove all jewelry, accessories and make-up , or else you will get a dismissal warning. That’s Catherine over there; she’s the nice one even if she looks like that. Go to her every morning and tell her you’re here or else you might get terminated. The guy that’s usually walking around behind her is Jeff, after talking to Catherine go talk to Jeff and see what’s in store for you today.  Whether you have to go into the freezing brightly lit rooms or the dimly lit rooms with computerized artificial graphic screens, you must read the daily announcements. You then go to Kathy, Jane, Alex, or any of the other managers. They might test you on the announcements and if you don’t know them then you might be dismissed of. If you don’t understand something ask question. Always ask questions, they are greatly appreciated, but ask only once because if u ask again they won’t like you and then you will want to be dismissed. Talk to the other workers around you, make friends and get their numbers because you will need all their help one day. Don’t get too attached to them though, they come and go and you guys might not work together every time. Oh, and that’s Eric, he’s the most easy going and funny supervisor around. Defiantly talk to him and call him outside of work, he likes it and you will benefit from it. But basically, be nice, act smart (even if you’re not), make small talk, always look busy, never stand still and have empty hands, always says “Hey what’s up.” To every person who passes and make sure you leave work on time, or else you may be dismissed.
