"Starting a new job can be extremely stressful. You meet your colleagues and forget their names, you meet your boss and forget his name. Then after breaking a photocopier, you forget your own name. And the next day you get to do it all again. But what if your new employer is not the pen-pushing, paper-shuffling outfit you supposed it to be?
