Our Core Bee-liefs
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
– JOHN DONNE

Like all awesome (or striving to be awesome) teams, we’re aiming to recruit the RIGHT FIT. We value honor, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. What’s different about Happy Hive is that as much as possible, we would like to:
- instill the importance of hive/community in pushing for growth as an individual
- encourage balance by setting priorities among personal life, career, health, family, hobbies, etc.
- be honest as much as possible with each other
- remind people that there are greater things in life that matter, so as long as no one will die or get hurt, it’s okay
- be mostly happy in whatever we do
