I've never felt so seen! The first two weeks were less about the work and more about getting to let OpenTent know who we are; there were some really thorough ice breakers around our interests and beliefs! So cool that a company let's you be expressive in that way. Everybody was so attentive and caring about my interests, which was really nice because they're a little fringe (I'm an anarchist lol). There was even a member of leadership who ingratiated herself in my remote work life entirely unprompted and really became a dear friend. She checked in on me a few times after I left, which was very thoughtful. Did I mention, uh, REMOTE WORK! New York, Denver, and Puerto Rico are all well represented by the OpenTent crew! There's just something about companies with Open in the name; they're a hit! And so well connected with NYC charitable donors :)
