We believe in paying employees for the value they bring to the team rather than where they live in. That’s why WorkRamp employees are compensated based on Bay Area benchmarks, regardless of where they do their work.

When you can't sleep because your big dogs are kicking you in their sleep and stealing the blanket but they're also the cutest so you don't move lest you wake them so you pull out the phone to squint in the darkness at random social media feeds, you're glad it's the weekend.

[Minerva Thai (she/her) @minervathai]

Appreciate this reminder to really hone my strengths and be mindful of how they impact my approaches and actions.

[CliftonStrengths @CliftonStrength]

Developing your #CliftonStrengths makes you a lifelong student of yourself, and new insights strike all the time. Capture them. Write your discoveries in a journal, send yourself voice memos, jot insights down on sticky notes -- pick a method that resonates with you.

Had a lovely long weekend celebrating my birthday by visiting Olympia one day and Mt. Rainier National Park the next. We took the dogs both times and really tired them out with the adventuring! 🐾🏔️

If you say your market is "everyone," you better be designing for and have products designed by everyone. Even if the target market is niche, people are multi-faceted. Read more about why #diversity and #inclusion in product matters:

🧠 "Learning—or rather, the brain activity and chemicals associated with learning—is the oxygen of human growth."

This 5-min article is a great primer on why it's important to keep employees challenged and in an #alwaysbelearning, engaged state.
