Page of Cups — The New Hire

▲ Upright -1

Fresh eyes on old code. The Page of Cups is the new hire who asks 'why does this service exist?' and accidentally exposes a load-bearing misunderstanding the entire team has been working around for two years. Their onboarding questions are more valuable than your last three architecture reviews. Listen to them before the org chart teaches them to stop asking.

The new hire who was thrown into production on day three with no buddy, no documentation, and a Jira board full of tickets marked 'obvious.' Page of Cups reversed is the team that treats onboarding as hazing — and then wonders why their new engineers keep leaving within six months.
