Yup, I've read every semicolon in this thread, very thoughtful comments and I'm deeply grateful for people sharing their experiences. I couldn't ask for more :p

Yup, I've read every semicolon in this thread, very thoughtful comments and I'm deeply grateful for people sharing their experiences. I couldn't ask for more :pray: It struck me that you don't know your remote peers. In what setting are you working? I suppose you have a physical office with colleagues and a remote extension of teams with whom you occasionally collaborate? about my role: I'm part of a digital cooperative and we too have power imbalances but not that direct as in a hierarchy. Our power dynamics stem from seniority but we all volunteered 2-3 years ago to do something about our team mental state and we're continuing to do it. Now it's part of the culture and this, of course, will alienate newcomers who dislike deeper harmonization but at the same time, it's strengthening the core team. Like everything, it has pros and cons :D
