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.

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to avoid entering your work history dates beyond 15 years on those online applications that will not submit unless you enter dates! I was advised by job experts not to include any jobs over 15 years, but that will limit me to two jobs which do not reflect my scope of experiences. I had no idea it would be this difficult returning to work after retirement. Thank you in advance for any help in this area.
