There are three stages in the organizational process. First is anticipatory socialization, which is when all of the learning before the first day on the job takes place for the new employees. Also, the new employees expectations are considered, and realism and congruence are essential in this stage. When I was about to start my job at the farm store as a cashier, I had no information or learning prior to starting my first day on the job. My employer did not prepare me for the first day by learning any information such as the establishments culture and values and did not ask me about my expectations. I was essentially unprepared for my first day of work as a cashier. The second stage is an encounter, which occurs on the first day on the job and can last for 6 to 9 months. During this stage, new employees learn the tasks that accompany their job title, get clarification on their roles, and create new relationships. Also, the new employees face role, task, and interpersonal demands. On my first day on the job at the farm store, I got my vest and nametag, watched a training video, and was thrown into learning to be a cashier. I followed one person around the whole day on my shift and learned about the daily tasks that needed to be accomplished. I checked out my first customer on my first day on the job. My employer did an okay job of helping me learn my tasks by providing me with an experienced cashier. However, the establishment did not have a great process for training because a lot of small details that are essential information are not told to the new employees, and you have to figure it out along the way on your own. The last stage of the organizational socialization process is change and acquisition. During the last stage, the new employees have begone to master the job requirements, become better at managing their tasks, know their roles, have work relationships, and are considered an insider. After a month of working at the farm store, I was considered an insider. I am a fast learner and do my job efficiently every time. Also, once you learn the ins and outs of what your specific job requires, you are considered an insider, and the farm store hires new employees every month, so you arent considered a new bee once someone else is hired. I would say my employer did a great job at this stage. They made me feel like a part of the team and very welcomed. I had four managers at the farm store, and one in particular named Paul was the best manager I have ever had. He was very friendly, asked all his employees how they were doing, and was always there to listen and answer any questions or concerns you had.
