As Kongpob settled into his new office on the first day, he couldn't help but notice the elaborate and huge welcome package on his desk along with a big bouquet.
The package was presented in a sturdy, branded box adorned with the company logo, creating an immediate sense of professionalism.
Upon opening the box, Kongpob discovered a neatly folded welcome letter that conveyed warm greetings from the company and an introduction to his new role. Beneath the letter lay an array of carefully curated items.
A high-quality pen, a notepad, and a sleek coffee mug and a water bottle with the company logo.
In the next compartment, there were variety of healthy snacks like mixed nuts, granola bars, and dried fruits neatly arranged in a compartment.
In another compartment was pair of gloves and thermal socks and a diffuser? With different selection of scents and essential oils.
Diffusers?
What was it ? An office? Or A spa?
Next to it was A small package of gourmet coffee beans.
Alongside the snacks and beverages, there was a personalized welcome note from the HR team, expressing excitement about Kongpob joining the company and offering support during his onboarding
At the bpttom, there was also discreetly placed bottle of heat pills.
Heat pills? In a corporate welcome package? It suspiciously reminded Kong of care package Arthit had sent.
Kongpob again examined the welcome package on his desk.
Thermal gloves and socks.
Diffusers .
Heat pills.
Is he overreacting?
Hell no!
Confused and slightly irritated, he decided to confront Arthit about it.
Kongpob marched into Arthit's office without even knocking " what's the deal with these heat pills in the welcome package? Is this some kind of joke?"
"Heat pills? Oh, those are just part of the standard welcome kit." Arthit replied "Everyone gets them. It better equips you during office hours and also can be used for those occasional headaches or muscle aches you might get during work."
Kongpob was sceptical "Really? You mean to say, everyone gets these? Even those colourful thermal socks? "
"Well, it's a new addition to the package." Arthit added defensively. " HR department thought it would be helpful."
Kongpob crossed his arms " I just don't want people thinking I can't handle my stress, headaches or heats just because I'm an omega. It feels like a targeted gift."
Arthit wiggled uncomfortably in his chair. He did not think it would make Kong feel targetted.
"Kong, it's not about that. We just want our team to be comfortable. You are not the first nor will you be the last to recieve a welcome package in our company."
Kong nodded, " I understand. Thank you for explaining it to me sir."
" You are welcome Kongpob. " Arthit replied with a smile that Kong did not reciprocate. " Are you ready to meet your team now?"
..........
As they gathered in the sleek conference room, adorned with digital screens displaying real-time cybersecurity metrics, anticipation filled the air.
Arthit, the CEO, began the introductions.
"Team, I'd like you to meet Kongpob, our new Executive Assistant. He'll be working closely with me to ensure the smooth operation of the executive office."
