"I’ve been at Tucows now for a little over 7 years. This is remarkable to me as it far exceeds the other roles I’ve had in a career that’s now approaching 25 years. (wait, what!?!?!)
The reasons I’ve stayed are probably the most relevant for me to share with you >>>
I feel comfortable being myself and the work and contribution I make is valued and appreciated. This is an essential element for my overall well-being.
At Tucows, I’ve found a very satisfying combination of awesome people to work with and ambitious and audacious goals. There is for me a very real satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from working hard with a remarkable group of people who are all rowing in the same direction.
I love to build things and so does this company. I’ve had the opportunity to be employee #3 on the Internet business and after 5+ years was given the flexibility to move into a brand new role building the profile for Tucows.
And lastly, that special magic of work peeps becoming good friends 💖 I live now on an island in the bay of fundy, having gone fully remote just before covid. Folks were allowed to come visit this summer and Monica, Dave, and his husband made the trek from Toronto, coming by train, plane, car, and ferry 🚂 ->⛴ . It was so much fun having them here and them getting to enjoy IRL the views they had only seen before on screens.
And not to forget whale watching! 🐳 . We don’t know yet what coming together in person looks like as we’ve become a remote-first company, and I’m excited for us to find out. Onward!"
