What are the availability requirements for these remote roles? Is it "you are available" whenever we need it, or there is a reasonable expectation set in the beginning? If you have an "on-call" system, what is that policy? How does that affect people in different time zone? It affects employees' health. Does it not?
A person I knew (not from my home country) worked at DDG for few months and left and let's just say he did not have very admirable things to say about the culture.
I apologise if you don't find this comment in good taste but I believe this is an important question about a job. People sleep at night and go on vacation oner weekends and an employer that keeps it "veiled" is not healthy. I had attended your calls (3 calls) and when I asked this question you all went radio silent. No response, no explanation, nada! Why not have some clarity about this?
Am I the only one who thinks about this aspect of this job? I mean this is a very important part of a job. It's not even about "I am not available psst 6pm", it's about - "set an expectation please!"
Why? I admire what DDG is trying to do (and that is why I singled out your post) but the people and culture behind the company that runs all that are very important too. DDG is not just another search company for me at least.
