Culture | Employee horrified by 'raw chicken' onboarding ordeal

The concept of onboarding is the action or process of integrating a new employee into an organisation. It is often sought as a way to familiarise the new recruit with the firm’s customer offering and product range.

Typical types of onboarding include discussing job goals and upcoming projects with line managers, giving new recruits a tour of the office and taking them out for a work lunch to help break the ice with colleagues.

However, one new employee was absolutely astounded by something that her colleague brought into work for a communal team lunch. Twitter user Lily, from the cosmetics brand Cave of Beauty, took to Twitter when a co-worker bought in raw chicken wings that he intended to cook during office lunchtime – Metro reports. 

Lily wrote: “My co-worker brought raw chicken to the potluck today. I – And yes, yes he is.”
