...yes?

If your job scope is reduced, you still have to go through onboarding. Is that not obvious?

Unless you're objecting to 'next', because it should only take them a couple minutes and there's no reason to delay.

Fair point that we don't have the whole story.

It is unclear if he even needs to be sworn in.
