Happy weekend, Remote Work Tribe! We know there are some new faces scanning our Weekly Roundup this week, so hello! 👋 The Weekly Roundup is your one-stop-shop for everything remote work and leadership, from updated remote work policies and mental health strategies to Twitter trends in the community.
Some weeks (like this one!), we like to focus on more light-hearted topics that are sure to give our fellow remote workers a good laugh. If the title of today’s roundup didn’t clue you in, this week we’re going to jump straight into the super-relatable Twitter trends that we loved.
A new trend we’ve seen popping up left and right on social media urges users to describe themselves as something without actually saying the name of what they’re describing. For example, “Tell me you’re a remote worker without telling me you’re a remote worker.”
We know what you’re thinking — not another Twitter trend. But trust us, these threads were definitely worth the read.
We’ll start with one of our favorites by Christina Garnett.
Are you ready for these replies? 👀

I just deleted 4 exclamation points from the email I was typing because I felt like I sounded too excited but also maybe I wasn’t excited enough? Can I unsend? Anxiety is hard.

The answers for this tweet were even better, folks.
Did you see that video of the guy skateboarding on the highway drinking Ocean Spray? That went viral! Let’s have our CEO do that!
