We hired two people in December and now I am realizing how much work onboarding actually is. January suddenly feels very heavy. How are other teams handling early year ramp up?

Onboarding is going to be the death of me this month. We hired several new employees that start tomorrow and I am kind of dreading it. It will be great when they are trained, but it is going to be rough for a couple weeks.

Is there any position is available
