Speaker:
Floor Drees
Staff Community Program Manager at Aiven
I'm a Staff Developer Advocate at Aiven(.io),we’re a managed solution for your favorite open source data tools. Previously I worked in Developer Relations roles at Grafana Labs and Microsoft. I co-organize devopsdays Amsterdam and devopsdays Eindhoven, as well as several meetup groups including contributing.today, a monthly virtual-first-an-only meetup on open source topics.
I’m a devopsdays core member, and a Microsoft MVP, awarded for my community work in the developer technologies space.
I talk about dinosaurs and chickens a lot.
POSETTE 2024 Talk
How to Work with Other People
Lack of awareness around Mental Health issues has always been a problem in IT circles, leading often to unnecessary stress, burnout and strained relationships with colleagues and employers. This in turn can lead to employee churn for companies and strife within open source projects.
Neurodiverse colleagues might be struggling more than you are, first with WFH and now with RTO, with industry-wide layoffs, and with biased performance review schemes. Understanding how different things affect different people differently will help make a more safe and more productive workplace. Making things a little better for neurodiverse folks, means making things a little better for everyone.
We will share how our neurodiversity affects the way we work with others, as well as stories from peers. We aim to contribute to a better understanding of how your team members tick, and we want to invite people to share how others can help them get their best work done.
We believe that the PostgreSQL community could become one in which its members can bring their true selves to (their open source) work.
