Had an interview and the place says they’re in person 2-3 days a week. It’s a small team but is it crazy I was really put off by that? I’ve been remote since the beginning of COVID and fully expected to be until I’m/the majority of people are vaccinated. Is anyone else going into the office?

The only friends I have going into the office deal with leadership that is fraught with other issues. In my opinion, a company willing to put the health of its workers at risk has an overall employee appreciation issue. Think about it this way: if this is how they react during a global pandemic, how will they treat you in normal times?

^this, 100%. Leadership is showing disregard for the well-being of the staff, it’s saying they are too disorganized to adapt to working effectively under novel/challenging circumstances, and it shows they can’t think critically and appropriately evaluate risk:benefit. Not the kind of agency that will succeed in the long run, or give you a healthy culture and support.

I would question the culture of any nyc agency making people come in right now.

I’ve found that the agencies making people come in are led by Trump supporters who still think the “C” in COVID means “just a cold.” I heard Zimmerman (staunch FLA Republican) tried pulling this BS too. Not sure where it netted out though.

In NY? That’s surprising. I haven’t heard of any agencies here that are making anyone come in since last spring.

Yeah, they said they’re rotating in groups of 6 which I guess is better than a larger group distanced but still. 1) why? And 2) wearing a mask all day in office when I can do better work from the safety of my home feels ridiculous.

I have heard of some agencies opening up (optional) and the teams are quite happy. Not mandatory in-person but optional seems to be a good middle ground.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
