    About this script

    A new hire gets a warm welcome from a very helpful team. twelve messages, Slack style, about 39 seconds as a video, and Wade kicks it off with "Hi everyone, I am Wade, new in design.". Wade, Priya and Kofi share the scene (three people, more than the Free plan shows), and every one of them is made up. Slack is a Standard plan look, so a Free account cannot open this sample.

    Pacing it beat by beat

    Messages one and two, "Hi everyone, I am Wade, new in design." then "Welcome Wade! Check your desk.", set the scene. Message 3 is the longest (10 words): "There is a plant on it. Its name is Fred.". Give it room.

    The turn begins at message 10, "Fred looks calm.". Move quickly through "He is a professional.", then hold "Welcome to the team." for two seconds. One of twelve lines ask a question.

    Making the video

    The button below sends The First Day At A New Job to the editor, set to Slack. Available here: typing dots, reactions and an online status. Not available: read marks. Show typing dots just before the last bubble.

    Free plan: the first four messages only, ending at "Fred is lovely.". The other eight need a paid plan. Caption it as a fictional chat. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.

    Part two hook

    Wade is asked to give Fred a haircut. That is the next episode. Let "Welcome to the team." be the last thing viewers see, and mention Part 2 in the caption.

    Tips

    • Say "There is a plant on it. Its name is Fred." out loud at normal speed and trim it if you stumble.
    • Keep Kofi's "Welcome to the team." on screen for two seconds before the ending card.
    • Give Wade, Priya and Kofi fresh invented names; the wholesome story then belongs to you.
    • Publish the next wholesome episode soon; a gap of more than two days costs viewers.
    • Place "Welcome Wade! Check your desk." on its own for a full second after the opener.
