the feeling of being on the outside looking in, of not knowing how to introduce yourself, of trying to speak only to have your throat run dry and your lips sealed and your face flushing brighter and brighter with embarrassment.
imo if youre working in a small company then there isnt (or at least shouldnt be) a "pure engineering role"; a Good Software Engineer imo can be involved in many many aspects of running a company. though i do get wym, policy &c arent rly things ppl consider (ditto with like, a logistics job… have i talked to you about how id love to be a logistics ho at a good technical org?)
that sounds like such an overwhelming experience, i wonder if it’s by design or if there’s a way to significantly reduce how stressful it is within such a short time frame with 100 people
it seems like an impossible feat unless the number of people is reduced or if the number of days of the retreat is elongated to prevent being overwhelmed
haha yeah i think it's a bit inevitable and the right strat is just to try to meet less people / read everyone's bios in advance (which i forgot to do). i also am prob less socially competent than most of the people there

we need an eternal project that can interact with future generation's relationships.
