So working at this agency that is fully remote. And they only use project management systems to talk to each other. They try to have “culture” which involves having get togethers but honestly those feel forced and clicky ( wanna get together with 100 people you only see via zoom once a month for drinks? ) is anyone else experiencing this? I feel so disconnected and to a certain extent disengaged.
One of my previous agencies had a yearly Vegas meeting. That was so much fun. I miss those days.

I used to experience this because I was also 100% remote. That was a downside I didn’t expect to WFH life; I felt so isolated from people I knew were connecting at the office together. It was a little awkward going to the big get-togethers because being remote, a lot of people just didn’t know I even worked there. We instead made more efforts to connect with our smaller team (about 8-10 people) and would gather once every six months or so. That helped a lot.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
