remote work and grinding 24/7 makes it easy to get lost in work and forget that relationships and the team’s well being are the key factors of every company’s success. we speak fluent async in crypto, build across time zones, ship from the couch, and prove that remote work… works. BUT here’s the thing, the strongest integrations aren’t between apps, they’re between people. last week, the Cookie team traded wi‑fi for sunshine at our offsite. we’ve made sure every team member who contributes to the Cookie success gets seen and that we mingle as a whole team. here’s how we’ve shown the Cookie Chefs we appreciate their hard work: → three days of relaxing and networking in nature → big merch boxes and personalised thank you cards to show each member why we really value them → yoga session because it’s good for mental well being → massages to get us relaxed after all the hours at our desks → tennis and volleyball tournament because we’re sporty → dinners, bonfires, and dancing to let out some steam → we even celebrated a triple birthday (they turned 80 together) → workshop and feedback session because everyone’s voices matter in Cookie remote-first might be the blueprint, but touching grass together? absolute game changer. we’re back online, slightly tanner, wildly recharged, and ready to deploy. enjoy the pics!
