Aaron is a third year student who has snagged his first part-time corporate job. After years of wading through the trenches of hospitality, and has finally donned a sale rack suit from Tarocash.

First week jitters are in full effect as Aaron is suddenly surrounded by workers more experienced than him.

“Man, I feel like it’s only a matter of time before they figure out I’m not supposed to be here, hey?” He shares, quickly tugging at his collar, “These people are just hella smart you know?”

While some may be tempted to say that Aaron is suffering from a very common phenomenon known as ‘imposter syndrome’, the reality is, he’s right.

After years of barely scraping through his degree with 4s and the occasional grade appeal to pass, this corporate fresher just doesn’t have the fortitude to hack it. It’s reported that when Aaron has shared these doubts with friends, he’s been quickly met with subject changes and “Ooh what’s that over there?”

In other news, tipping has started on how many weeks into probation this dum dummy slacker will last. Odds are paying out at $2.25 for less than a month.

Likely no more to come.
