How far away from others? Maybe go out for lunch. Or discuss things that you have in common... Or share a personal side to break the ice...

I would read the room. Do the other team members want to bond? Do they want to get to know each other on a personal level.

I’m permanent remote employee. I have never been to nor do I have desire to visit the main campus. I’m one of those that likes to come in so my work and leave. I rarely speak or chat in slack. I do have friends but team activities are not for me.

So I’d check the team. Where are they located and are they really interested? The most team thing I did was virtual lunch where we got gift cards for dominos and secret Santa. I’ve been with the same company over 5 years.

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

Started my new job today! I’m joining a late stage startup coming from a more mature company, and am noticing a lotttt of documentation debt. I’m coming in as Staff/Lead, and want to eventually move into management in 1-4 years. If I spend some of my first two week block updating and creating documentation for future devs, will that be seen as working hard or wasting time? It feels like a good use of my time to me….
