"Perhaps it’s because they’re engineers – who they told tend me, tend to have low energy – but I’d argue that 90% of people would not be as composed as these two, albeit, like ducks, they were paddling under the surface like maniacs. "
Really hard to parse this sentence the first time around, 'who they told tend me, tend to' ??
- bobbles 15y agoAlso like to note that the following rules: * if you don’t know what you’re supposed to do, or don’t understand something, ask. * if you’re not able to complete your task by the deadline, for whatever reason, tell the team now, not later, and adjust as necessary. * if you need help, get some. should be drilled into every new starter at every company, startup or not. Unfortunately I've worked at a few companies where even graduate level employees are worried about asking questions, or get hostile answers from the older guys that seem bitter about new people coming in.
- robincampbell 15y agoThanks for catching that bobbles - fixed :) I couldn't agree more about the value of drilling in the guidelines. Lucky for me the luxury of working with the Summify boys was their egoless-ness - ideas won on merit
