Two friends and I just got hired together at a new company. We’re in the same geo while the rest of the team is remote, and the bulk of the company is not in the us. You’re second paragraph is very true! If I’m new and notice an odd workflow I would normally just adjust, but now I can go into our slack group and commiserate with my friends.
It doesn’t help that most of the company is Polish and their culture comes off as very rude to Americans :)

I adapted, and then I worked with Canadians, to whom my American style was seen as boorishly coarse.
