Do we control work hours? No, we trust you to manage your time and responsibilities. You have the flexibility to create your own schedule, though we recommend you set working hours on Google Calendar and inform your team and manager. How do I handle working with people in different time zones? Rocket.Chat is designed for asynchronous communication, so you can communicate across time zones without any issues. Just be mindful that responses may not be immediate, and it’s always good to have a Plan B in place. |

When you’re added to open.rocket.chat, you’ll also be added to some key channels and teams:
Company-wide updates and announcements.
...
New hires, birthdays, out-of-office lists, referrals opportunities.

Create and join clubs based on your interests besides work (music, pets, etc.). You can start trends, send messages, and share recommendations.
How many channels are there?
In addition to these three company-wide channels, each department or squad has its own channels, and you'll be added to them as your onboarding progresses.
How should I communicate?
At Rocket.Chat, we prioritize asynchronous communication to support our global, remote team. This means that responses may not always be immediate, but that’s perfectly okay! You can work at your own pace and rely on clear, thoughtful communication across time zones.
For detailed guidelines on how to communicate effectively in an asynchronous environment, please refer to our handbook.
