While I don't doubt bureaucracy plays a role, I think comments in this thread insinuating that there is something wrong with having an organized and thorough onboarding process are wrong-headed. Many, many mature organizations probably have more than 60 tasks to complete to fully onboard a new employee. If you really want to see what inefficiency looks like, put your head in the sand on those 60 items and wait to perform each of them when they become urgent.
