“Team, I’ve got some bad news to share. I’m afraid Bob is no longer an employee of Big Corp. I know this may come as a shock to you, but he just wasn’t able to keep his head above water. Making waves is all well and good, but at the end of the day, Bob’s little venture has left us all dead in the water. Well, actually, just Bob really. What I’m trying to say is that Bob drowned on his way over to this morning’s standup.”
Of course, drowning on your way to a daily standup would be an ignominious way to leave this world.
Turn this on it's head though, now you're fully remote, maybe it's time to buy a zipline for the house? Maybe your house could be more fun.
