The most interesting thing in tech: a great study on remote work and software engineers. It’s an ingenious design and it found, among other things: Engineers give more feedback to each other when together than when remote. In the short run, that makes people less efficient! Feedback can slow you down. In the medium and long term, it’s hugely beneficial, though, because it makes everyone better. In the pandemic, the engineers who were hurt the most were young women—who sought the most feedback when in person—and the ones helped the most were senior women—who no longer spent as much time giving feedback and helping others along once everyone was remote.

📣 I'M HIRING!! 📣 I'm looking for a rising #internalcomms star who is hungry for their next career challenge and ready to: 🌟 Support the entire lifecycle of internal communications initiatives 🌟 Champion connected storytelling and thoughtful change management 🌟 Help orchestrate hybrid company events, making every moment memorable 🌟 Strengthen the flow of information across the company ❗ Why you should be excited ❗ Beyond the meaningful work you'll do alongside some of the sharpest, driven and caring team members to contribute a real and lasting impact...this is a workplace that truly understands and invests in internal communications, which so many companies undervalue or wait too long to prioritize. When I joined Discord, I was our VP of Comms' first hire (before external comms hires! 😱 forever thankful for you Jordana Bruner), when the company had a few hundred employees. Since then, our workforce has tripled in size and the comms team has grown more than 6x...and at every step of the way, I have been blown away by the amount of care and passion for internal communications held by everyone in the company, starting with leadership. We're seen as a thought partner, consistently consulted and continuously invested in, with the understanding that strong internal comms is a need-to-have, not a nice-to-have. The last three years I've spent building the internal comms function at #Discord has genuinely been the most rewarding time in my career. I can't wait to bring on an #internalcommsmanager to level up their professional journey and our work during what I believe is the most exciting time at Discord to date. Plus...we just welcomed Stephanie Hess as our Chief Communications Officer! 🎉 👉 So...if this strikes a chord and you’re equally comfortable communicating in memes and gifs as you are in docs and decks, come join our pun-loving team of creative strategists and make a real impact on Disord’s mission!
