Educational and informative. 😊

That's the reason why i prefer work from home if physical presence at a work place isn't necessary , it spares all parties from a lot of nonsense that could only slowdown the work progress , let's face it and admit it , human beings are not suppose to be accepted or liked by (Each And Every Person) they meet or deal in their lifetimes and it could be for a thousand reasons whether its at work or just "Social Life" , therefore i personally admire how things are being handled under a militant management , there's a job , a task or a goal that must be accomplished despite of who gets along with whom or who likes whom and based up on that both parties gets roasted regardless of who's mistake was it , that's how to maintain order in an organization heading towards a specific destination. On the other hand , i enjoy listening to these discussions on your podcast tackling various matters to learn a thing or two if there's a valuable lesson to be learned , i don't claim i know it all and i'm not Mr.Perfect but i've noticed that most of these discussions are with women and it feels awkward to me as a man , don't get me wrong , i've been raised by a single working mother at some point of my childhood and she sacrificed a lot for me but i'm not a feminist neither, please respect my nature as a man , it just doesn't feel naturally right for a man to hang around a bunch of women to discuss life and talk about this and that , i got much respect for women because of my mother, however! respect is earned not given. Finally, the reason why i see myself as an introvert is because i'm an honest person and i don't appreciate it when things i say are used against me in forms of action or behavior just because somebody has a different perspective. Which is the reason why i like to keep it strictly business at work regardless of any Cultural - Racial - Religious or Political views. Does it affect my work productivity? Absolutely Not. I work to make money and help my employer make even more money and that's what i know. Do i honor general humanitarian values within the work process which includes integrity? Yes i do. Other than that i owe nobody anything and i'm to obliged to be somebody else's pleaser because they think i should. P.S. Have a happy holyday (That's from the heart)

I really enjoyed this dialogue but found it a bit off-putting at one point. The statement, "If you're in tech, you're like a robot anyway." show a complete misunderstanding of technical people. They are no less human, but more inclined to logic, ideas, and working with things. The statement shows a lack of empathy, and it least in my corporate experience, the willingness to insult and dismiss others is itself poor etiquette, and at times, reasons for HR action. Granted, in my decades of tech, tech people almost never put on their cameras. I'm one of the few, but eventually conformed to the culture, but still turn it on for introductions and for social meetings. It's a world of things and not people, and although everyone is respectful, remembers names, and are mostly considerate, other realms like marketing, design, and in this specific case, entertainment, are substantially different.
