Everyone has had that job where you are required to go through an orientation. It could last ten minutes, or it could be three hours. Orientations are dull; going over the basics seems so simple that you don’t even need to be taught them. However, in this piece Orientation by Orozco, there is a contrast between fiction and the real world, in a span of just ten minutes.

Instead of focusing on the actual work the employee must do, they have to worry about the basics. “If you make an emergency phone call without asking, you may be let go” (Orozco 3).
