Hi Zee. What Was Onboarding Like at Your Last Job?
When an organization doesn't have an established, workflow with clearly assigned responsibilities, onboarding will always become a last-minute scramble.
Hi Zee. Is working from home actually a perk?
Working from home should not be treated like a perk, it's an operating model. And these are two very different things.
Hi Zee. Do you know who to trust?
Information is easy to find, but knowing who to trust is a way bigger challenge.
Hi Zee. Is 5 generations in the office at once too much?
Having that breadth of people in the same workplace isn't going to be easy and we should stop pretending it will be.
Hi Zee. How good are you at taking vacation?
I know, it sounds like a silly question, but seriously. Are you actually comfortable completely disconnecting from work? Or do you remain somewhat "available" to potential fires, answering Slack messages from a beach chair while pretending you’re relaxing?
Hi Zee. Did you know your brain wasn't built for this tech world?
You inherited a world of permanent stimulation, endless information and always-on work. While very convenient, it's also kind of crappy.
Hi Zee. What kind of side gigs do you have?
You seem to have pivoted to a career lattice and now you're building a life that says 'screw the corporate ladder'.
Hi Zee. Have you ever wondered how we ended up here?
I'm not talking about in the 'birds and the bees' sense. More like, why do we work at all? Spoiler alert, it's because of the farmer.
