It does feel woo, but this is so true!!

Every year I come home from our company event in an afterglow of trust and gratitude and connectedness for my colleagues.

What did you call it -- collective effervescence? Yes, ✨exactly✨. It wears off in, 2-3 months? Maybe 4?
trustbuilding seems to struggle another order when occasional in person (1-3/year) wanes to occasional (1/1-3 years) too; i think people are "realer" for a time limited window after shared physical space. this feels woo enough that I'm reluctant to even bring it

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back.

My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs.

Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

I don't just say "ooh big stretch" when my cat does a big stretch but also when the content and intellectual basis of her argument is sadly deficient.

I still remember way back before Musk was illegally destroying US foreign aid that time when he claimed he’d give $6B to the UK WFP if they could tell him how it would solve world hunger & then he ignored the response & gave $5.7B to his own charity & no one ever found out where it went from there
