Eugh. Makes me so glad I’m working at a professional company and not one of those tech bro firms. We have an annual conference you can attend either in person or remotely, and it spans like two days. Doing some random corporate BS four weeks of the year just so your CEO can pretend to be some sort of popstar sounds abysmal to me.
Comment on The CEO of Dropbox has a 90/10 rule for remote work
bsrz@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI wouldn’t take the 90/10 literally. It probably is closer to 1 week per quarter at an offsite event.

Dropbox isn’t some tech bro startup anymore…

We are actually, if you’re in Sweden.
this is quite funny considering we’re discussing remote work… why should your location matters in this case?

i totally agree with the sentiment. my last job was a “tech bro firm”. that entire attitude and working environment is stacked in favor of extroverts. as an introvert, that shit is extremely difficult and frustrating.

That’s still a lot. Four weeks a year?
darkmarx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A quarter has 13 weeks, so if you do 2 week sprints and align them to start with a quarter, there is 1 week per quarter that is not accounted for. That week can be used for stuff outside of daily activities. It can be used for training, offsites, working on a pet project, etc. Its a good way to build time in the schedule for this type of thing. These types of breaks have tremendous long term value.

which is not that uncommon at a tech company.
