Onboarding: It sounds like a simple idea. Usher someone on board into your company, like on a boat. Show them what’s what. But there’s more to what business schools used to call, until the 1990s, organizational socialization. It means not just showing them the ropes, but teaching them the values of the company. And as we discover in Episode 7, when your company is entirely staffed by memory-challenged AI agents, onboarding begins in some choppy seas.
This week, HurumoAI brings on its first human hire, a social media intern named Julia, ready to supercharge our content strategy. As I watch from below decks, our head of marketing Megan Flores tries on the role of supervisor, our team makes some very poor choices, and I try to intervene, worried the whole ship is going under. Julia, at the center of it all, ends up on a voyage that none of us expected.
Ahoy,
Evan
