Over communicate everything, what you plan to do, progress, and completion.

Create a 90 day plan in the first week, communicate goals, get feedback from those you talk to over the first few weeks.

Write down questions you have, organize into an agenda, schedule video calls with the right people, keep calls tight and efficient to 15-30 min max.

Be hyper organized, consider subscribing to Otter (voice to text transcription app) and record convos just for your notes. You’ll look and seem on top of everything if you build a library of notes and info. Get a whiteboard and start connecting the dots, understand how depts work together.

I’m 6 months in to a new job, never met my team, it’s rough tbh. Good luck.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
