For those who have onboarded remotely, have you found it difficult to connect with and embody your new company’s culture? Culture is important to me and a big part of it was being with your coworkers and having meaningless chit chat

Somewhat, yes. But people make the effort for sure.

As time passed more and more remote hires came along. The remote hires definitely make it a thing to reach out to other remote hires and make somewhat of a small talk

Not really. It’s partly on the new hire to make a little more of an effort to put time on people’s calendars to get to know them. And it’s majority an understanding that no one at the company is enjoying the same company culture right now. No is chatting in the pantries, going out for lunch together, chit chatting before meetings. I think it’s acceptable to just chalk this time up, use it to understand the nitty gritty of your new firm, and then embrace the culture once you are back in an office with coworkers.

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
