38:20 The Wash Up
First, there was the stand-up. Then, we remotely discovered the asynchronous catch-up. But is there something better? This week, we discuss the blog post from Honeycomb about their "meandering team sync", designed to decrease frustrations, improve team bonding, and set themselves up for a productive day.
In this week's distractions, Neil gets embroiled in a small-scale GDPR breach, Sanj adapts to working life, and Gwen wants tips for surviving an eight-hour meeting.
Sometimes we're not sure whether or not to flag an episode as explicit, but this week Gwen has purchased a rad new office chair, so I think you can guess whether or not there'll be any fruity material this time around.
