Hands-off management, expectation to get work done however works for you
When I get to work with creative and intelligent people who are interested in innovation and fresh ideas, it's wonderful.
My coworkers are leaving for ridiculous raises at remote opportunities. Wilmington is not cheap; it just lacks real tech competition, and we're about to lose all of our talent if something doesn't change.
Follow diversity statements with actions, specifically financial commitments. Don't assume that every single employee feels as strongly about in-office culture, and don't try to force it. We've done amazing stuff remotely for 2 years.
We're in an awkward growth period where we need to refine some processes for longevity, but we're already large enough that any sort of innovative idea is usually shot down because of the overhead. This is driving the people away who have good ideas.
