Tyl had just started his new job and was feeling pretty good about himself. At his previous work he had gotten into a nasty fight with his boss and was looking to jump ship asap.
Luckily for him, he got contacted on Linkedin by a head hunter and the new employers were glad for him to onboard asap.
First day, he was just doing a short round on the small new premises when he saw the receptionist with an older lady. She introduced her as also another new employee who had just started today as well. Tyl had a few pleasantries and went on with his day.
Tyl started his work very early. His company had a relaxed flexible time schedule and therefore one could begin quite early in the morning or at a relaxed later time, depending on their preferences.
For his first day his boss had asked him to come to the office at a specific time but afterwards he started coming at his routine early hours. He was pretty surprised to see that he was first one in the office and that it remained empty for a couple of hours before other employees started coming in.
After a couple more days, he was going through his daily starting routine of getting a cup of coffee at the start of the day from the coffee machine in the small kitchen when he suddenly met the new lady. It turns out that she was an early riser as well and needed a couple of days to set up and start early like she used to normally.
