Freshers? That's a new word.
In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it's catching on in the UK too.
It was at least common in (my part of) the UK when I was in university over a decade ago
How do you guys call em?
it's been used very commonly in the UK since at least the mid-2000s.
but it's catching on in the UK too.
Really? I thought it is a UK thing as well because we use the word here in Ireland.
I will say, my company has a three year Analyst Development Program that hires directly from college and rotates new hires through a handful of departments looking for where the candidate fits best.
I'll also note, we budget five years in advance and... five years ago, we had the worst layoffs in company history. So now we're picking up one ADP across the entire IT floor, when we normally bring in 5-8.
"But why didn't you adjust your budget when your company rebounded and you were flush with cash?"
Fuck if I know the deep magic of management accounting. I just know we're staring down a staff shortfall again, despite being fully flush with cash.
