If it’s only once a year, and it’s planned it works out fairly well. I previously worked for a fully remote company for 3 years and we hosted a conference for our customers every year in January in south Florida. The team all came in a few

it was a interesting realization when I came to terms that a great many roles in our society exist because emotions are hard for people to deal with. So we "outsource" some large percentage of it to someone to be a buffer and abso
