Silly goose, you're here forever.

My current job I handled my own onboarding. Literally got mailed the previous dude's laptop and got told to wipe it for myself.

Onboarding for my current job consisted of me hounding people until they gave me things for four months. All IT did was give me a laptop with a bad battery and tell me to write down my password on a sticky note after I set it. I finally got a phone and an extension last week and my desk should be showing up by the end of the month.

I still haven't written my password on a sticky note.

Sticky notes get unfairly maligned in this work from home era TBH. Go ahead and make things convenient for yourself. If someone gets to the sticky note you'll probably care more about your TV than you will work's problems.

Unfortunately, about half the time my workspace is separated from the highly intoxicated public by nothing more than a ship's ladder and a couple geriatric volunteers. If my job was full remote I could see where that would make sense. As it is I programmed a yubikey to spit it out on a long press, but still memorized it just because.
