Refactored #154: “Touching Grass: A Privilege”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • The guys discuss DOGE:
    • Memelordship ascendent or super cereal?
    • I beg your finest pardon: remote work is a “COVID-era privilege?”
    • The duo explore the iron of high performers being the first to pack their bags when RTO mandates come down.
  • Comment Block
    • I work in a remote company now (just a team member, not a manager). And the culture obviously feels very different. Before I could “chat at the watercooler” and/or go out to lunch or dinner. My team and I, we all talk on calls of course, but it’s always more formal - everyone has those mental meeting barriers up. How can I build strong interpersonal relationships when in-person options aren’t available?
    • We’re launching an MVP but the team is divided between speed and quality. Is there a practical way to get something to market fast but still have it be “right” and not full of bugs?
  • … and much more!
