OCV operates in an all-remote environment. We have team members across various time zones and work with founders and other team members around the world.
To promote a healthy and sustainable work environment, we ask the following of our team & external partners when requesting meetings:
This does not mean that team members are expected to be available and online during this window the entire time. It’s understandable to have life obligations and non-work appointments during the day. We look to team members to manage their time independently and effectively to meet business objectives. “General Availability” merely provides a guideline on when it would be appropriate to request a meeting.
In general, there’s no expectation to attend meetings outside of General Availability and Exception Cases outlined above. In these situations, OCV team member(s) should communicate with the meeting organizer. If the meeting was scheduled based on GP’s availability, make sure at least 1 other team member in the same time zone coverage can join the meeting to support.
It’s fine for team members to set their “general availability” hours based on a different time zone for personal or business needs. Please discuss with manager and let the broader team know.
“If a meeting is so critical that it must be scheduled over the weekend, then there must be room for it during the business day.”
