I will never stop learning. I won’t just work on things that are assigned to me. I know there’s no such thing as a status quo. I will build our business sustainably through passionate and loyal customers. I will never pass up an opportunity to help out a colleague, and I’ll remember the days before I knew everything. I will communicate as much as possible, because it’s the oxygen of a distributed company. I am in a marathon, not a sprint, and no matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day.
This creed was adopted from another great distributed company, Automattic.
The full potential and creativity of anyone in the Assessbank family won’t be completely reflected in their assigned tasks, or documented in the issue or task tracker a team might use. It’s possible to survive by doing just what’s asked of you, but to truly thrive involves bringing something above and beyond to your work and making sure everything you leave your mark on is something you’re proud of.
