8 Problems With Being The New Person In The Office

5. Hi, I'm New.

Everyone in the office will know you're the new guy. But you won't know what anyone's job role is, or even their name. Which could be a problem to start off with. No one wears a name badge in the office so the only way you're going to find out is if you ask them. Because office workers seem to have an aversion to offering a polite introduction. It's all keep typing and don't make unnecessary eye contact. DON'T LEAVE THIS TOO LATE. The worst thing is having a conversation with someone you've been working with for 6 months and still not knowing their name. Things could get pretty awkward. Even asking someone you do know the name of what 'that guy who always wears pink shirts' is called could also make things a little tense.
