And in most cases, that's a backlash against all the other shitty places that they worked at before.

And at Remo, our founders developed our values before they ever even had a product.

So the values predate me.

They predate most of the people in the company.

And they're what attracted me and everyone else to the company in the first place.

And those values are excellence, kindness, ownership, transparency, and ambition.

And I know that's a lot of nice words and it seems pretty obvious what they mean, but there's still a lot of room for misinterpretation within these terms.

So we further define each one of them.

So for example, ownership, it's not just,

I own this area of work or I own this project.

It's ownership over the desired outcomes for your customers, whether those customers are internal or external customers.

So that's what ownership means to us.

And it's a, it's very specific to us.

Kindness is another one.

It's not about being nice or agreeable.

And at Remote, we often say clear is kind.

And what that means is that being super clear in our communication, because we all work remotely, is a way of avoiding communication and wasting time.

And for us, that is a form of showing kindness to the people that we work with.

And then I'll just touch on one more, which is transparency because this is highly valued at remote.

We default to working out in the open so that everyone can contribute their ideas.
