A handful of times I dialed into the standup meeting a couple of minutes late. This was a huge problem for the chief science officer, but for me as well. The standup meeting was useless, it’s just “I’m awake, near my computer, and I’m working on my tickets”. In other remote places we would post this in slack. No need for a meeting. I complained about this, and the fact that I have to repeat the exact same status twice more in the same day but was told that this is very rigid and if I can’t be in that meeting at 10:00 pst sharp, this is not going to work. Since I’m an engineer, I half jokingly proposed a solution - what if I move to a different time zone…. … and was told that was an excellent idea. I moved to mexico soon after and was never late to the “I’m working on my tickets” meeting. A sane person would have probably loosened up the standup format, but hey it worked out in my favor.

Terrific people and culture Work / life balance Committed to remote Plenty of runway
