Anyone feel like the latest new hires kind of suck? I think not being in the office and not having expectations made clear makes it easy for them to slack off.

Well it’s also super hard transitioning from school to the workforce in the middle of a pandemic and being fully remote. New hires don’t have the ability to turn to their side and ask questions anymore, which is extremely important for growth.

It's been pretty hard for us to ramp up our newest hire (who is a talented dev in general). We're considering moving them away from our proprietary tech until we can get back into the office.

Would agree that the normal period of ramp up to adding value to team/company feels like it’s taking longer than usual. Some new hires in other departments definitely seem to be more on the slacking off side (regularly signing off for the day multiple times a week for headaches or not sleeping well 🙄).

I do feel a large part of that is not being in person to learn from others - working at home they have no reference for how hard others are working/urgency of deadlines and much less exposure to cross team resources throughout the company. Many people learn from watching and mimicking how others handle situations in person and they have no access to that.

I would give them benefit of doubt and perhaps go out of your way to offer yourself up as a resource to them for the time being. I message my new design hire every time we’re in a meeting to start a channel of communication for her to feel comfortable asking questions or to offer some context on meeting/subject matter.

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
