| 00:00 - 00:03 | Lachlan moving to Germany. We panicked. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | Losing him? |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Unthinkable. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Remote-first! He stays. Love this team. Tech makes it easy. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | We thought we had it figured out. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Let’s check schedules. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Lachlan, your time zone? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Uh… sir |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | CET... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | CET. Is that manageable? |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Surely it's manageable. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Listen up. Digital, IT and Product. Leave the room now! |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | So, our standup is 4PM!! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | It's too fucking late! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | We can no longer do 9AM! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | That will be midnight in Germany |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Async check ins? |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | No one reads those things |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | YOU ARE STAYING IN THE OFFICE DAMN IT |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | STAYING RIGHT HERE IN AUSTRALIA |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Time zones won |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | No more remote |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | You seem angry boss |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Do you have any idea how hard it is to lead devs? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | They are entitled |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | They are IMBECILES |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | They miss deadlines, break staging |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Argue about tabs vs spaces |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Commit bugs with messages like "fix stuff" |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | and NOW I have to factor in TIME ZONES?! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | They deploy on Fridays! FRIDAYS! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | They say 'it works on my machine' and LEAVE! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | And we lose a pong player |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | The remaining player base in in shambles |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | It was the one thing... |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | ...holding us together |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | The last bit of joy in this forsaken company |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Gone. Like our CI/CD pipeline every Monday |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | And don't get me started on QA |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | They catch the weirdest bugs... |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | ..but somehow miss the showstoppers |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Staging data is still really bad |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | And now guy is leaving |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | I thought we could do great |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Believe... |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | I used to believe in the team |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | But now, it's just firefighting. Every. Single. Day. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Maybe... maybe.. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | I should just switch to marketing |
