In the marketplace tech company, I am working remotely from home. It can be harder to distinguish the culture of the organization as there is no physical environment. Nonetheless, the company uses a digital workspace called Slack which we share project files and conversations. Upon entering the app, one will notice a consistent theme of sports. The workers are all fans of a team or athlete. There are constant talks of player stats, collectibles, and NFTs.
The workers themselves are dressed casually since we meet over virtual calls. When I speak with my coworker, they’re friendly and understand each person needs time to complete a task. They do expect us all to prioritize the speed of our work and improve over time. Sometimes random messages would appear with praises/congratulation for doing a great job.
The workers must keep updated in the general chats of their progress. Chat text is as straight to the point as possible for there to be no confusion. It’s not all serious which we’ll occasionally crack jokes or go off-topic in a call. Moreover, the employee works independently and chooses the task from a list of projects.
