Hiya! This page is meant to give you a run-down of what working with
|
|
me is like. It's like a li'l insight into the way I best interact with
|
|
people and perform on a team.

<h2>My Values</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I tend to be very firm in my values, to the degree that I shy away
|
|
from organisations or projects which do not align with my ethics.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
First and foremost, do not pass judgement. I will not begrudge you
|
|
for your religious beliefs, political alignments, or any other
|
|
aspects of your life. And I expect the same courtesy in return. You
|
|
do not have to accept who I am, or support my choices, but we need
|
|
to maintain a respectful and cordial professional relationship.
|
|
Expressing hateful, mean-spirited, or vitriolic comments does not
|
|
foster such an environment, and my tolerance for such is nil.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Second, we shall do no harm. I very strongly believe that technology
|
|
is meant to advance our society, not regress it. Software should not
|
|
be used to automate people's careers away, or replace creative works
|
|
with pale imitations, or harass/target someone, or restrict access
|
|
to information.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2>Environment</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I have found that I best thrive and produce the greatest works in
|
|
specific environments.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ideas should be freely discussed, challenged, and evaluated. I am
|
|
not a "yes girl" to blindly follow orders. If I hear a plan that I
|
|
think misses the mark, I will absolutely voice my concerns. And I
|
|
welcome the same scrutiny in return. Discussion needs to be
|
|
constructive and fruitful - if we're going around in circles, it's
|
|
time to table it and sleep on our thoughts.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
We are not our ideas, however. "This is bad and you should feel bad"
|
|
helps no one. "I'm not sure that is the best approach, can we
|
|
consider doing this instead?" keeps the conversation focused on the
|
|
right things and moving forward.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
ADHD means my productivity is highly fluctuating. There are days
|
|
where I can sit and bang out a week of work in 16 hours, and there
|
|
are days where I stare mindlessly at the screen and then realise the
|
|
sun has set already. Flexibility in both schedule and deadlines is
|
|
very important to me.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Likewise, insomnia can rear its ugly head and absolutely wreck my
|
|
sleep schedule without any warning. Asynchronous comms are always
|
|
preferred over meetings, but if a meeting must happen the afternoon
|
|
hours are the best. Too early and I'll likely fail to wake up. Too
|
|
late and I might be incoherent.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If given something like a Trello or a Monday board, I will 100% make
|
|
it pretty and load every single task ever on there. I'm a sucker for
|
|
organising workloads and the easiest way for me to be transparent
|
|
about the work I'm doing is to just let you look at a task board. If
|
|
you say "what did you do yesterday" I will not remember this for I
|
|
have slept since then.

<h2>Communication</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As with many people, there are certain approaches to communication
|
|
that are more effective for me.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Don't just say "hello" in my DMs or ping me without context. You'll
|
|
pull me out of a workflow to wait for the rest of the message. Send
|
|
it all at once, or save the ping for the last part.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
I have generalised anxiety disorder. Please for the love of all
|
|
things, do NOT say "we need to talk" or "do you have time to meet".
|
|
I will 100% sit there right up until the meeting starts stressing
|
|
about getting fired and not actually getting any work done. If you
|
|
need to call me out, just rip the bandage off and come out of the
|
|
gate with it.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
I dunno if you noticed the tone changed in this document about a
|
|
million times. That's pretty much Naomi in a nutshell. I'll go from
|
|
collected and eloquent to manic and sending messages faster than
|
|
Discord can process. I try my hardest to stay professional, but ADHD
|
|
makes that very hard. I'll swear sometimes, I'll say totally
|
|
off-the-wall things. But I really do try!
