2022 is coming to an end and the Etcetera team has gathered this week for our traditional All-hands meeting to talk about our news, updates, challenges, and internal processes.
We welcomed 4 new team members, so we are now a team of 41. Check out the stories and expertise of our new team members in our earlier posts.
Besides welcoming 4 new people, we also said good bye to 2 team members, who have decided to continue their development not in the design&development freelance career, but in music and creativity. We are very happy for them as well and thankful for the time they spent with us.
- As usual, we discussed recent Upwork updates, which you can check in our earlier posts.
Our founder Denys wrapped up the meeting with a few very touching words:
“Now it’s very hard for everyone to pull yourself together. But as a team we are handling all this very well, I think. It almost makes me cry to see how we all became more supportive for each other, close, and real true friends. You are all very cool and I’m proud to be a part of this team”.
