Camaraderie at work

We had our holiday party on Thursday and it was a blast. We had almost the entire US team in town and a couple folks from Amsterdam. It was the first night I went out and really stayed out late maybe this entire year. Getting home at 1am wasn’t intentional and I’m still recovering from it as I write this on Monday, but we all need these nights where we feel like we’re 25 again sometimes.

My colleagues and I had a ton of fun together. I’m not sure what’s normal anymore in this day and age of holiday parties, but we decided to have a night out like you would with your friends. That made things special in the sense that despite the fact that we work together, we actually want to hang out with each other. I can say confidently that is not always the case. And unfortunately, we’ve had times at Secfi where it felt like that wasn’t the case either.

I’m feeling grateful that the vibes are great at work again and we have a great thing going right now. I am convinced that there’s no company worth building if you aren’t having fun doing it and your colleagues are a huge part of that. I feel grateful that I have colleagues that I trust and like which makes my job easier and my enjoyable.
