1. You ask your new boss for supplies and she hands you a No. 2 pencil and legal pad -- and nothing else.

2. You were shown to a cubicle your first day of work, given a company manual and haven't been spoken to since.

3. Every time you tell someone about your new job with the company they raise their eyebrows and say "Really? Wow... good luck with that."

4. After two weeks on the job, you are already halfway to becoming the employee with the most seniority.

5. You answer the phone while the company's secretary is away from her desk and find that the voice at the other end is a collection agency calling for the third time that week

6. You notice that every day for the last five days, at least one person has run crying from your boss's office.
