Companies keep telling me their Joel Test scores but I want to know their Bechdel Test scores

OK look folks, I know we're all fleeing this trash fire but we have to wait until the rotisserie chicken guy hits day 40, right?

My RTOing colleagues are talking about dress codes and I've never been happier to be permanent remote

@rahulastrohl What's round on the ends and shitty in the middle?

How do distributed companies handle things like work-related book clubs or team social events? In colocated companies those things always seem to happen during lunch, which sucks.

[Charles Treatman @ctreatma]

@jveliskova Is your team pretty spread out or all in the same time zone? I refuse to do anything at lunch, but I don't know how that works when you have teammates a couple hours ahead/behind.

Do dog owners/walkers plan their walks around trash day or do they sometimes bring their bags of dog shit back home to their own garbage cans?

Post-burnout, I refuse to have work stuff on my personal devices. Employer has to provide a mobile device and a computer. Worst case, PagerDuty is set up to call a Google Voice number tied to my personal phone if I miss multiple notifications on the work phone while on-call.

@SalFreudenberg I worked at a university, first building public web applications to help genomics researchers identify interesting targets, then building internal webapps to help with grant management & research processes. I miss working closely with users on things that improved their lives.

When someone joins your team, don't introduce them as "our new resource."

And they're still adding new deadlines

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

The first thing that surprised me during the pandemic was the degree to which employers simply ignored it. We were in the middle of a catastrophe so huge it had humbled the entire human race and we were still talking about how we could avoid missing our deadlines.

@maxknee What are you talking about? It's been March for eight months now.
