I got my laptop before start date
So no virtual orientation?
No , according to the faq
Which FAQ? I was assuming the orientation would be virtual...
Do you guys know if Google gives company phones? Also, can we order additional computer stuff like screen, keyboards wout manager approval?
Anyone receive their laptop yet?
Got an email about the preferred equitptment. Ordered one last monday. Also comes with a big ass monitor that you have no option but to accept apparently.
O wow nice. So they delivered in 10 days? What's your start date? Monitor is good!
I’m starting Monday (the 18th). No laptop yet. All pre-onboarding tasks completed. I’m also wondering about phones and other equipment. I will need to transfer my phone number from my company policy to something else soon.
Have you talked to your manager about that ? What did they say ?
My manager and I have a call planned Monday morning. Other than that - no further info. I have an I-9 meeting Monday afternoon and have to fill out my HR paperwork via the special domain by noon Monday. But I don’t think I’m going to have a laptop or other equipment yet.
My last day is the 22nd ! You ?
Got my laptop - priority overnight delivery by 8am. Start is Monday. I am hoping start tasks are light because I promised my old company I would try and help train my replacement who starts Monday. 😬. I have already worked almost all of my two weeks notice. I will do what’s best for Google, but I really wasn’t expecting them to be on time after all of my emails said not to expect my laptop for 1-2 weeks after my start date! I have a major time delay from where I am to California - so I’ll probably just be getting up early for a couple of days to make it work! (The companies are in now way related or competitors). I just hate to let them down in this last request they have made even more than I have by leaving.
How was the 1st week
Those who started in the past couple of weeks - did you all get your laptops and received emails from your manager during the week prior to your starting Monday?
I did !
Who is starting GTI soon? My manager said that I should get an email about that soon. Do you guys have your permanent google account yet?
