The Onboarding Blueprint...McDonalds

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0400

We record from a McDonald’s and use the chaos to talk about a surprisingly serious problem: most companies still onboard people with vibes and tribal knowledge. We lay out what great onboarding looks like, how to survive when you get none, and why networking plus documentation can turn you into a rising star. • Why onboarding sets culture and context fast • The difference between being “thrown in” and being set up to win • A five-day company onboarding model that levels everyone • Teaching the “why, what, how” before role details • Using a one-minute pitch test to drive real learning • Finding your own buddy and building allies • Networking across teams to understand how work connects • Documenting onboarding gaps as immediate value • Volunteering to onboard others to restart your growth • Keeping onboarding current with monthly syncs and lunch and learns Join our Discord and join the conversation.
