The summer of 2021 was full of events and wins for Etcetera.

It is time to sum up our accomplishments in the traditional Etcetera in Numbers post:

  • We celebrated the Agency’s birthday with the biggest offline meeting so far.

  • We went to Turkey for workation (work + vacation), and we are planning another one.

  • We started a tradition of playing board games online, and we love it!

  • We launched Etcetera website to represent our values and expertise.

Here is what else was on Etcetera agenda our latest All-hands meeting:

  1. We went over recent Upwork updates such as scheduling meetings and availability badge. If you missed them, we made separate posts earlier this month.
  2. Congratulated 10 team members who had birthdays this summer & welcomed 6 new members to our family. 
  3. Announced a new position in the Agency – Profile Assistant for Managers, who will be improving our agency visibility on Upwork by creating appealing profiles for our project managers.
  4. Talked about the finances of the Agency. Although we won’t disclose everything here, we feel it is essential that the whole team knows where the money goes. Also, we are super happy to say that starting August, 0.5% of gross agency profit will go to our Party foundation to have even more fun during our offline gatherings. 

We hope your summer was filled with success and fun as well! What is the most memorable thing that happened to you during the last three months?
