I only later found out it has Dialogue: 0,0:24:37.73,0:24:39.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a name, later. Dialogue: 0,0:24:39.20,0:24:41.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically, all of our smartest engineers got\Naround the Dialogue: 0,0:24:41.63,0:24:43.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,table, like they usually do. But this time,\Nthere Dialogue: 0,0:24:43.93,0:24:46.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were too many of them to have the discussion, Dialogue: 0,0:24:46.02,0:24:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they did it in our lunch room. And Dialogue: 0,0:24:48.00,0:24:50.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our lunch room has two monitors that are paired Dialogue: 0,0:24:50.28,0:24:53.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,together. And it's also open enough that anyone\Ncould Dialogue: 0,0:24:53.63,0:24:56.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hear. So they were sitting around the little\Ntable Dialogue: 0,0:24:56.17,0:24:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talking, and what I noticed was that there\Nwas Dialogue: 0,0:24:58.69,0:25:02.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a growing crowd of about forty people listening\Nand Dialogue: 0,0:25:02.56,0:25:05.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking at the second monitor, the paired\Nmonitor. Dialogue: 0,0:25:05.01,0:25:07.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they were discussing amongst themselves.\NThey were clarifying Dialogue: 0,0:25:07.35,0:25:11.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the concepts. Because the super nerds were\Nover here Dialogue: 0,0:25:11.58,0:25:14.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talking about this really hard concept, and\Nwe were Dialogue: 0,0:25:14.12,0:25:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just trying to understand what the hell they\Nwere Dialogue: 0,0:25:15.66,0:25:18.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talking about. But it was really cool to hear Dialogue: 0,0:25:18.62,0:25:21.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our elders speaking. Like, what do they, what\Ndo Dialogue: 0,0:25:21.73,0:25:24.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they worry about during the day? I don't know. Dialogue: 0,0:25:24.36,0:25:29.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, and, and also these, these conversations\Nare normally, Dialogue: 0,0:25:29.34,0:25:33.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, closed-door. You don't normally have\Nany impact in Dialogue: 0,0:25:33.79,0:25:36.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this. And so, being able to like, sort of Dialogue: 0,0:25:36.79,0:25:40.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,listen in was definitely, like, one of the\Nmost Dialogue: 0,0:25:40.90,0:25:43.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enlightening and eye-opening things I think\NI have seen Dialogue: 0,0:25:43.60,0:25:46.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a long time. So I would highly recommend Dialogue: 0,0:25:46.11,0:25:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something like this. And I think this works\Nfor Dialogue: 0,0:25:47.90,0:25:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anything. I think this works at the director\Nlevel. Dialogue: 0,0:25:49.96,0:25:53.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, as long as you're not talking about\Nemployees, Dialogue: 0,0:25:53.35,0:25:56.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would love to hear what your VPs or Dialogue: 0,0:25:56.87,0:26:00.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your executives are talking about.

So, the Dialogue: 0,0:26:09.37,0:26:11.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,last one, I had never heard of this concept, Dialogue: 0,0:26:11.86,0:26:13.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but now that I see it in effect, I Dialogue: 0,0:26:13.69,0:26:17.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,love it. Basically, when you get a new hire, Dialogue: 0,0:26:17.08,0:26:20.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,assign someone to them for a day. It's nothing Dialogue: 0,0:26:20.23,0:26:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big. Maybe if, maybe if you have, have the Dialogue: 0,0:26:26.25,0:26:29.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,resources, you can assign someone half time\Nfor two Dialogue: 0,0:26:29.98,0:26:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,weeks. Or maybe even four weeks. Dialogue: 0,0:26:32.40,0:26:36.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I can tell you is that if Dialogue: 0,0:26:36.01,0:26:39.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you do that, so when New Relic onboards we Dialogue: 0,0:26:39.83,0:26:41.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think it takes about six months for someone\Nto Dialogue: 0,0:26:41.68,0:26:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,truly get up to speed, and I actually agree Dialogue: 0,0:26:43.91,0:26:47.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this. What we've found is that if you Dialogue: 0,0:26:47.01,0:26:49.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have an onboarding buddy helping you through\Nthat first Dialogue: 0,0:26:49.46,0:26:53.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,month, it drops to about three months. Which\Nis Dialogue: 0,0:26:53.88,0:26:57.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,crazy. You get one, one engineer's half time\Nfor Dialogue: 0,0:26:57.19,0:27:00.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one month, and that's three months of extra\Nproductivity.
