Hey there! Sure! Sent you an email!

Sent you an email!

I'm with a friend and we're focusing on building cool SaaS projects as a way to improve our product building skills and possibly make some money.

At the moment we have a HR platform that one client is using and we're looking to build other stuff - we have some ideas in the making.

If anyone wants to join

There are a few agencies nowadays that are providing these services. You can also find people on LinkedIn (search for people who are working in fast growing tech companies or have graduated from top colleges)

You can try and directly approach people from LATAM. Find workers from great local tech companies and send them messages through LinkedIn

Wow! Did you suggest a change?

Ah! This is good to know. Have you used them?

I'm like you in the sense of having regular calls with the team. At least for me, it's important.

Also the lack of motivation because of company culture, what do you mean by that?

Not yet! The pandemic is still strong here so need to wait a bit until we can do that

Yeah, I get that. Do you have an office in your house?

Boundaries are tough! But this is good advice.

I've also seen that working days have increased in liquid hours, as it's easier to just go and "check your emails" in the night

Working in a different environment seems like a good idea! How do you solve the disconnected feeling from your company and team?

Also reduced motivation is tough. Are you seeing anything that might help with this?

Especially if they don't actually understand that you need to focus to do your work

Hacker space seems like an awesome idea. I've wanted to have something like that, maybe coworking spaces is the closest thing we currently have?

Yeah, this is a huge issue. People haven't realized that working remotely is different - I think this is an adaption thing and soon it'll change. Do you?

I guess 100% remote plus a few social gatherings in a year seems good

Did you learn this in any way? Or just naturally?

No, why?

WFH is hard without kids, can't even imagine how tough it is with children.

A woman I spoke to mentioned that pandemic remote work is nothing compared to actual remote work, where you have your kids in childcare

1) That's true! Maybe after Covid is over, going to a coworking space for to work will be better for remote workers

2) Did you find anything to solve this? I have this as well

3) This seems like a tough issue to solve

That's a good point! 100% remote is tough because you need other things to build relationships than just emails/slack messages

So you met them remotely and then in person? Was it an off-site?

How do you deal with the trust question? That's an interesting problem
