"... and missing the first day for this reason hasn’t happened to anyone else since we’ve been running RC online" In my opinion this is an incredibly unfriendly and immature thing to say. The count of people it happens to is irrelevant. It happened to one person. "No one else had that problem" is not inclusive. I cannot imagine a good intent. If the story is accurate, this is shameful behavior on RC's part. I would like to hear a response from someone over there

Your quote was taken out of context. The author was trying to blame RC's lack of communication for his absence. The quote is a response from RC explaining that this is the first incidence of someone missing the orientation. The author even admits that RC put the event on his calendar, but he simply ignored it because it was at 7:15AM: > It was on the calendar, but at 7:15am in my local time zone, so by merit of that alone I had simply ignored the event The author also admits that RC tried to contact him as soon as they noticed he wasn't in the meeting, but he also missed that communication. > Hi Erik! I sent you an email this morning, but never heard back – we didn’t see you during the welcome flow or talks this morning, and we wanted to check in to see what happened. It wasn't until the afternoon and a second e-mail that the OP started communicating with them about the issue.

  RC’s online experience just sounds poorly designed. Everything you’re saying about staff being overbooked, exceptions being intolerable, etc. isn’t indicative of an efficient and inclusive organization. It sounds like everybody is overworked, and policies like these are simply because RC can’t cope with its resources, not because RC has some great management theory in efficiency.

I'm an RC alum, and that sentence also struck me. Recurse goes to great lengths to create an inclusive, accepting environment, and explicitly calls out impostor syndrome. Saying "you're alone in messing up" seems completely counter to that, and I'd also love to hear from the staff.
