What’s your take on having pets around while working remotely?
Do they keep you calm—or become a distraction for you (or your coworkers on calls)?
We often drop our kids off at daycare during work hours... so why not do the same for our furry babies?
Curious to hear your thoughts.

Pets are less disruptive than children imo lol

My dog is a welcome distraction atp. Excuse to get up from my desk and get some sunlight and fresh air… get a lil dopamine to get over that afternoon slump.
The only thing that’s inconvenient is when he gets hold of a squeaky toy and proceeds to play with it under my desk while I’m in the middle of presenting. But it doesn’t happen that often and usually the clients get a little laugh from it. So it turns out to help me in the long run.

My cats are pretty chill. They don’t distract me or anyone else. Why not have them around? They’re a fun excuse for a break when I need one.

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

We have a lot to say and none of the PMs approves the way he operates.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?
