Some companies just duck tape together Slack Zoom Jira and call it remote work. This is very different from companies that intentionally architect a virtual experience. Unfortunately, the pandemic caused the majority to only experience the first and have no clue what else is possible.

If you look at teams that have successfully worked remotely since pre-pandemic, you'll notice a couple things: • None use surveillance software • All ended any hybrid work experiments • All do team retreats • None have a heavy meeting culture Take a note from their playbook

It's rare that I care anything about a newsletter, but this is one of the ones I enjoy because she covers aspects less covered by everyone else but still relevant to a big enough audience to be worth the read. It's wonderful and I love the exploration of remote work culture.
Forgot to post this yesterday and no one is checking their email today (understandably). But I shared an article on juggling WFH with a baby. First time sharing on the parenthood and remote work topic. Lmk if this is a topic you’d like more on!

Getting lots of questions from job seekers asking how to know if the remote companies they're interviewing with will switch and force RTO. Would it be helpful if I created a list of remote companies with firm plans not to backtrack?

Some responses I've received from my latest article on building culture on remote teams 😊 Publishing things online can sometimes feel like a black hole, but notes like these keep me writing. If you read something that resonates today, send the creator a note to let them know!

Building culture is not as related to social events as most people believe.

Signs you have a poor remote work experience: • You check work notifications as soon as you wake up • You struggle with deep work because you're always expected to immediately respond • You eat lunch at your desk because you can never get away from meetings What else?
