A few days ago, I published this post. I knew I would step on some people’s toes, but I honestly didn’t imagine that people would feel so passionate about it. This only proves how we accept unacceptable things online. Let’s assume the same situation happened in person. You would be at McDonald’s with your kid. A guy would enter the store and go straight to the kiosk to place his order. After a couple minutes, seeing that the guy looked puzzled, a McDonald’s employee would approach him and ask if he needed any help. The guy would then yell at the McDonald’s worker: “Stop trying to help me! I have no interest in McDonald’s.” And would storm out of the store. Would that be acceptable? I asked many different people during the weekend, and the overwhelming answer is that this would NOT be acceptable. Then I described to the same people the story about my previous post, and almost all of them thought it was acceptable. Wait a minute!!! What??? Just because we’re behind a computer, it’s deemed as acceptable to do something that, when in real life is deemed as unacceptable. This is mind-blowing! And a pure example of the “online disinhibition effect”, that says that the anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, minimization of authority, and other behavioral traits make people feel that it’s ok to be rude online. I invite everyone who’s reading this post to think twice whenever you’re writing or replying to an e-mail or online post. Think that on the other end there’s a person. A real person! And that most of the times that person is working their a$$ off to do a good job and treat you well. At least, this is what we do at Flieber. Our team has extreme "pleasure to serve", and is very proud of the way we treat every single person who interacts with us. It doesn't matter if the interaction is in person or online, or if it's with a customer, partner, team member, supplier, investor, or anyone else. You'll always be treated the same way by the Flieber crew!

After reading Smart Brevity by the Axios HQ team, I instantly decided to take the idea of a monthly newsletter for our team. For us, it mostly covers projects we are working on and changes to processes, but we also add some fun antidotes like New Year's Resolutions. Key value drivers: 👀 Everyone in the company understand what you're focused on 📈 It forces you to review your metrics and ensure you can share them easily 📚The history of the team's progress is invaluable. New hire? Check out what we've done for the past year. 🤩 You get to shoutout people doing great work both on your team and others you collaborate with.

In my time at Adwerx, I've had the pleasure of interacting with so many great people. Not just in terms of their capabilities at work as a co-worker but also as a people. but the reality is that companies are machines, they take in inputs(labor and resources, raw materials, etc.) and they output revenue. If they are efficient they output profits. This isn't information that's meant to shock anyone. This is a constant in the business world and the market. We all accept this reality as employees. And understand what comes with it. The good and not-so-good. Four people were let go yesterday. Four great people. Matt Jones, Coby Nunnally, Saba Jordan, and Jeremy Smetana. Matt Jones was my manager in two completely different positions during my time at Adwerx. He was a brilliant leader and teacher when I knew very little about our systems when I was just starting out. He was an amazing advocate when he took over leadership of a more technical team of Success Engineers later on. Leading comes naturally to this man and it is reflected in our personal and team performance SLAs. There are few people better at the role. Coby Nunnally was a new hire to the company 8 months ago. With so much to learn we thought that his onboarding would take much more time than it did but he was open to learning anything that we were willing to teach him. His notes were far more in-depth than I had expected even at the two-week mark and he was constantly focused on pulling his weight and adding to the team. A mentor learns the most from a person like this. I learned a great deal teaching him. Saba Jordan I rarely ever got to work directly with Saba but when I did, he always left a great impression on me. His focus and dedication to aiding the business partners, broker, and persons of contact under his control were always very impressive. He would ask me into a meeting that would be focused on very specific details just in case the partner wanted direction, help, or advice regarding something nuanced. And his partners would always reward him for that attention to detail with further commitments. Jeremy Smetana was solid. Like Saba, we weren't in the same department but I can remember his name coming up when the team won praise. He was a solid team player and had his name come up several times in the shoutout channel after hitting a grand slam or two. There are things that we come to expect in business, competing in the market. These four were unexpected humans that I won't forget. Amazing to work with. They earned my respect and trust as people, and my hard work as co-workers. Their future employers will have some serious assets to work with going forward by acquiring these talents.
