Episode notes

Exender: I've been working remotely for the last 10 years, but in the last month, we've gotten a like an office to go to downtown for whoever wants to go. So I got caught up in this thing where I'm so used to just like showing all of my emotions at home because nobody can see me. But it's great being able to segment those emotions into like time boxes on the calendar almost,. especially if maybe I'll feel bad about something and need to get out of the office until that situation is resolved.

Alexandra is a Senior Engineering Manager at Fellow.app and the author of Remote Engineering Management: Managing an Engineering Team in a Remote-First World.

She joins us to discuss creating an excellent remote work foundation and the challenges of jumping back into in-person interactions when needed. We also chatted about how remote emotions translate to in-person ones, segmenting emotional reactions, wearing different masks, and more.
