Disconnecting…<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We stopped having Teams meetings during the Boost days. We wanted a break.<\/strong> After 15 months of close-ups of our colleagues’ faces, we wanted an American shot, or better still, a good overall shot \u00ab\u00a0a la Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u00a0\u00bb. Except for our colleagues in Lisbon, for whom we prepared a great set-up to make it look like they were there.\u00a0 With two days to go before the boost days Lisbon was in lockdown again.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking with the team was amazing, as I work from Barcelona. All the exchanges we had, and of course the teambuilding time: bowling, rugby, dancing! After a year and a half at home without parties, it was perfect!<\/em>\u201d – Miguel, Solution Engineer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…But reconnecting differently!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After our January Boost days online<\/a>, we finally met in person!<\/strong> Dinners at home, ping-pong in the rain, pre-lunch football and especially our joyful faces around the kitchen table in the morning to enjoy our coffee, were an opportunity to get to know all the people who had arrived during this past year and whom we had only seen behind a screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
