Be spontaneous in a different way

Remote work is a trade-off. You gain flexibility, a larger talent pool, and work-life balance. But you lose the spark of running into people at the watercooler.

These reads are great conversation starters, and unique windows into people's personalities. And when people have these insights about others, connections begin to form no matter where they are. We've noticed that people end up finding out more about each other than if they were sitting a few desks apart. Common offices...remember those?
