Thank you for this review and for the “pros” you added. We value your thoughts, opinions, and experiences.
We are opinionated and passionate at Stacklet. Like many organizations, our team’s opinions have been shaped by our experiences and we want to use those opinions to further Stacklet’s mission. If something associated with a manager’s way of working is directly impacting your ability to accomplish the tasks associated with your role, please bring it to the attention of HR so that we can work with managers to help make changes.
Two of our Values are “Disagree & Commit” and “Move Fast & Take Risks”. We’re currently a small company, and everyone at Stacklet has direct access to each other at every level. It is vitally important in this early stage that everyone knows their voice is important to our growth, so long as everyone also realizes that not every suggestion for new work will be approved. If you believe you are not being heard, again, please contact P&C or Travis (our CEO) about it so that we can ensure that you are getting your idea/suggestion to the right people. Our virtual doors are always open.
While we certainly want everyone to take their well-being and safety seriously, we’re a fully-remote company that does not require our team members to travel (the on-site is optional). We have followed the CDC guidelines since the onset of the pandemic and continue to follow them today. We encourage vaccinations and mask wearing and will be asking unvaccinated team members to present a negative PCR test before we gather.
Lastly, in response to the final bullet:
- Our teams schedule time for sprint planning/retros
- We’ve hosted a company-wide training session on giving/receiving feedback
If you feel that we’re still not approaching retros in a blameless manner, please come to P&C or Travis about it as soon as possible (again, our doors are wide open). We take the culture of Stacklet very seriously and want everyone who works with us to feel that they are heard and respected.
