I thought Iād post questions to Slack and get responses from those on my team who played. I figured I could write a few great articles based on their remarks, but I was wrong. I was perpetrating. Not to mention, my pieces were unrelatable because I myself, could not relate to their topic.
I always make an effort to give DV a chance to be part of any conversation in media that will not compromise our values. This game is one, and itās hard to have much to say about it while being fearful of becoming one of the consumed. My boss was one of them; a player amongst many who found nostalgia, joy, and his inner kid from a game with a hype that existed 20 years ago.
I took a seat, lifted my phone from my desk and stared at it with intensity. I have a Samsung - I donāt discriminate - so I navigated to the Google Play store. I was reminded that my last download was the Coaster app which allows me to purchase my train tickets with ease. It was practical. It made sense. It optimized my commute. It was not a game. Still, I typed āpokemon goā in the search bar and its icon was immediately revealed. I selected it without looking at any other options.
I did not open the app before lunchtime, but following the consumption of my usual grilled chicken salad, it was on. Jaron and I stepped out onto our office terrace so as to keep from disturbing the rest of the team with my elementary inquires. Within five minutes, I was set. I listened to the Doc, created my character, and then boom - like that - I was given the opportunity to catch three pokemon. It really was simple.
āDo you wanna catch a Pikachu?ā Jaron asked me this with a full grin. āI can tell you how to get him as your first pokemon!ā Best believe I was all, hell yeah! in return.
What Iām trying to say is that my excitement towards obtaining a Pikachu was genuine.
Jaron filled me in on the how. The when and where was left for me to discover. After the pow wow, I sat down at my computer ready to type with the urge to catch āem all never before feeling so real.
I could swear that my throws - swipes across my screen really - were accurate. A slight panic slipped into my thoughts as I began to anticipate the disappearance of Pikachu. I missed hitting that little guy over and over. Then finally, my sloppiest of phone swipes landed the white and red sphere smack dab in the middle of the electric bunnyās forehead. I let out the smoothest āyesss!ā to express my victory. I watched a bright light take Pikachu up into that small ball. It fell to the animated grass and buzzed with a blinking red light.
The ball settled. An overlay of my victorious first capture was displayed. I let out a sigh, only then realizing that I had been holding my breath. The Doc showed up to congratulate me and at the same time I gave myself a mental pat on the back.
From pre-school to undergrad, the only walls that separated me from others were those of the classroom, but thatās the obvious right? Beginning at the age where I could insert real words between my infant babbles, I was conditioned to learn and grow in a room filled with others.Ā
I understand that this is in part to encourage person to person interaction that life deems necessary, but I was ok with that, and Iām still ok with that. What I was not ok with when getting out into the āreal worldā, was the sudden appearance of three and a half walls that hindered any immediate interaction from one colleague to the next.
I kind of get it though. Regardless of the setting that was provided for the growing mind, the space in which learned skills are ultimately used shouldnāt matter. Thatās because somehow, between the calculus equations, biology labs, and reports on English literature, I was to learn to adapt. Right? What hiring manager wouldnāt like to hear from their potential new-hire just how well they conform to anything and everything? As someone who has been in the candidate hot seat before, I can say that I wanted to get that across with confidence. I wanted to be the, ācompany chameleonā. The truth however, is that I failed until I didnāt have to try.
Donāt get me wrong, I can adjust to my environment⦠eventually. The thing is that, I donāt have the time to change the preferences that I worked so hard to subconsciously build over the years. I learned in school how āchangeā impacts my success. Any time I was in a large classroom setting, I struggled. To obtain my degrees with flying colors I went from a large university to a small private school, but I digress. My point is that, like the large classroom setting, cubicles arenāt for me, and luckily I work for a company where that affirmation is shared. Cubicles donāt exist here.
The hook to the reel that Dynamic Vision cast out for new team members seemed to be that itās offices are huge creative spaces. Instead of the traditional cubicle setup, everyone has the freedom to lean to one side of their computer monitor and say hello to a colleague. It makes sense, especially because we work in teams. Together we build and create in an environment so vast and open that the mind can metaphorically expand with ideas.
The Temecula headquarters is so open-engagement based that even the small offices within the space Ā have glass walls. Other than the area of desks, there are 14 other places at HQ where one can continue to be the mastermind behind the masterpiece while being a supportive member of a team. All spots are open, colorful, amongst plants and in some cases, beside windows you can stand in.
Then thereās the Oceanside satellite office. Team members that work there have complete access to the buildingās rooftop that provides an ocean view. If that wasnāt the case, that view is still attainable from their desks thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Here, there are also other areas to work, where one can change their setting, but still be available to lend a hand.
In my head at times I shout, who wouldnāt want this! However, Iām aware that in certain instances, cubicles may be the best way to go. I just happen to find success in DVās cubicle-less offices, and the same goes for my team. There is an understanding that the best workspace is the natural kind, the one that resembles the outdoors as much as possible. This is because in truth, from pre-school to undergrad, my greatest level of progression occurred anytime I stepped outside with others. Whether it was in the sandbox discussing an episode of Blueās Clues, or out on the Yard at the university going over the dayās lecture on African diaspora, the great outdoors solidified growth. At DV, we step in to stand out, metaphorical or literal.
