So instead of going home at a reasonable hour to eat dinner with my actual family, I'm supposed to stay at work and listen to a Happiness Manager talk about sustainable meat? No thanks.


Appreciate your thoughts! We did not set up group dinner at Ridejoy as some kind of mandate which we forced everyone to do - that would be pretty lame.

Instead, this set up has evolved naturally out of our team's preferences. Our point with this post isn't to say this is ONE TRUE WAY to do things, but to share our way of doing things and encourage some dialog around building a startup's culture.


Spend time with your family in the morning? Come in at noon, have lunch, eat dinner at 6:30, head home at 8.

Or, bring your family to work for dinner.

You have not lived with a typical family, especially not one comprised of night owls.
