A day in my connected life, by Sóstenes Ribeiro

A day in my connected life, by Sóstenes Ribeiro

We asked Sóstenes Ribeiro to tell in 2 photos and a story, what connects his day. Showing in practice what it is like to work in our flexible and distributed model, but always close. The result is an inspiring testimony of his incredible life change. He risked following his dream of being a future innovator and is now playing his career as a dev while enjoying his most precious asset_ the family_

Check it out_

The family IS ON(line)!!!

Recife|PE, 6:00 pm “leaving” work…
…Recife|PE, 6:00 pm “coming home”!

Before trying to understand the above paragraph… Hello, my name is Sóstenes, also known as xoxis_ (easy to see why isn’t it?!), from Pernambuco, husband always in love with Dona Mércia and “fuzzy” father of Mariana and Manuela, son, brother, godfather, brother-in-law, cousin, friend… And your buddy for all time!

Our day

A little earlier, more precisely around 06:30 am, we got up: me, my wife and manu, time to get ready to take the little girl to school (it was online, but we’re back in person). A task that some time ago would have needed to be carried out and we would lose that precious little time with our little one. The return happens in time to prepare a good breakfast, eat and connect to another day of work at Instation, it’s 8:00 am and our leader arrives with his always effusive: “gooooooood morning, beauties”!

Hello, Team Colorado!

Our meetings about projects and tasks are permeated by the best conversations from the most receptive team I have had in my entire professional life. Even geographically distant, we perceive each other’s lives as if we were side by side, living next to each other. You can feel the people, the good atmosphere, even looking at the world through the window of my house (a little bird just visited me, can you believe it?).

New life again!

The journey is calm and challenging at the same time, given the fact that I used to work in field operations, traveling constantly in the North and Northeast of the country, whether by plane or on the roads, around the world. Practically always over long distances and travel times that often amounted to a full day’s work. You heard it right: even more than 8 hours of commuting! The and routine and paradigm shift are pretty high at this point in my life. But “Mister Resilience” can handle it and the happiness around me, dressed as a family and unrestricted support, is just what I need… Career change, here I am!

In Recife, 6:00 pm

We have reached the end of the workday. But not before going through lunch break and the task of fetching manu from school. Try to imagine the number of stories that are told along the way. All the learning, the games, the discoveries. A whirlwind of information from someone who was born amidst a whirlwind of many others. And then comes lunch, a break to rest, a switch that gives time to tidy up and the greatness of knowing that there, right beside me, a little girl grows up, her older sister, mari, is developing her degree in Biological Sciences (home office) and the wife takes care of us and also develops professionally (guess what: online). Amazing, it’s almost the whole day together and that was something unthinkable in the life we ​​lived before the possibility of remote work. I say more: perfectly, unlikely!

And to paraphrase the generation Z and the recent alphas: the family is ON(line)!!!

Recife|PE, 6:00 pm “leaving” work…
…Recife|PE, 6:00 pm “coming home”!

Easy to understand now, right?!
