I'd much prefer to fly first class around the world.
But I'm a firm believer I would don't ask my team to do something I wouldn't do myself.
And
We had a long conversation as a group of people in Rock and said, look, one of the things we think culturally so important in our organization is bringing people together as often as we can.
And we just realized that we wanted to be a lot more liberal in end of quarters and training events and global induction and product people and product marketing and different people coming together all the time.
And to be able to do that, we said it's not going to be feasibly economically to do that with
the level we want to do in the organization if everyone's flying business class or first class.
And so we just had a discussion about it.
We put in place a bunch of things and everyone said, yes, we prefer to have the the connection and the opportunity to meet these other people more often.
Than to fly in a in a more premium class of travel.
And then once you've got that that alignment in the organization, it's an easy discussion.
But you can't then turn around and say, thanks everyone, that's great.
I'm gonna fly business class, you guys can all fly economy.
It doesn't really in inspire, you know, that we're all in it together.
It creates this us and them divide, which I don't think is healthy in a culture, I don't think it's healthy in a startup at all.
And values alignment sounds so um
contrite today, but actually values alignment is all about those sorts of things.
The rubber hits the road when you know what the values of an organization are when you pick up something like the travel policy.
To me that's like you can see the values of an organization very clearly when you read a document like that.
People can plaster all these sorts of things on the wall, but actually go and pick up the way that they actually operate.
