  1. Why don’t we call the Moralis Team a family?

as Mexican and being around hispanic teams, this is a thing to change!;

; family is a commitment for life.

  1. What would be a better analogy for the Moralis team than a family?

a professional team that wants to win championships; there would be a coach that put the best players in each position. Zero shame if let go.

    Oh man I am eager to contribute in small iterations, have feedback-loops see results in gradual iterations rather big scopes with long processes, complex organization and few results.

  1. Why don’t we call the Moralis Team a family?
    The Moralis Team is not a family because Moralis focuses on CREDIT, while a family is a supportive group of people, who have a lifelong commitment to you. A family that most often won’t love or support you any less if you aren’t competitive, constantly improving yourself, or showing the same kind of results that a company would expect.

  2. What would be a better analogy for the Moralis team than a family?
    A better analogy for the Moralis Team would be an Elite Team.

  3. How do members of an elite sports team treat each other?
    Members of an elite sports team:

  • Are very close

  • Support, respect, and care for one another

  • Celebrate wins together

  • Console loses together

  • Know each other very well

  • Are NOT a family

  1. What is the role of a Moralis Manager?
    Like in sports, the role of a Moralis Manager is to:

  • Make sure all positions are filled with the best possible performers for the job to ensure talent density.

  • Work on creating strong feelings of commitment, cohesion, and comradery.

  • Continuously make tough decisions ensuring the best person is manning each position.

  1. What do Moralis Team Members demand?
    Moralis Team Members demand:

  • Excellence.

  • That the coach/manager position is filled by the best person at any given time.

  • That the team aims high (big goals).

  • Candid and continuous feedback from the coach (manager) and from each other about opportunities to up their performance.

  • A for performance.

  • Great collaboration skills.

  1. Is Moralis for you?
    Yes! I definitely see myself working in this company. I’m also very glad to see there are places changing the “normal” and advancing in different more innovative ways.

  2. What is important to remember about being let go or seeing someone else being let go?
    To know that there’s Zero Shame in that because we get to know from the start that Moralis, like an Olympic team, is constantly looking for the best person for the job to maintain Talent Density and to move “from good to great”.

  3. What is your personal view on this approach?
    I think it is refreshing to find a place where excellence is expected and anything less is not accepted. At the same time, it is great to see the spirit behind Moralis, and the way you can see they treat people well no matter what, even if they decided someone is not the right person for the job anymore.

  1. Moralis does not operate on the same premises as a family, so calling it a family would inaccurately label it as such.

  2. Moralis is an Elite Team.

  3. Members of an elite team respect, support and know each other very well.

  4. To make sure that the team is winning, and operating as best as it can.

  5. Fellow team members demand excellence.

  6. The more I learn about Moralis the more excited I get, as my knowledge of it grows so does my admiration for what it truly is. I can see that Moralis is an elite level team and playing as a part of that team is something I see myself relishing.

  7. It’s a part of the process, there is no shame in it. Don’t let it waver you from the mission at hand.

  8. When you have goals like Moralis you need rocket fuel to get you there. This approach is how you create rocket fuel. The finest quality ingredients and the best recipe are a necessity. I feel that Moralis has been designed and constructed as such for a definite purpose.

  • A way the better comparison to Moralis is an elite sports team.

  • All Moralis Team Members need to be seen as professional athletes and one must know that the only way to win is for the team to win together.

  • Time to move on to sieze the next opportunity ahead. The company has shifted priorities and where Moralis is heading requires new talents for the role.
  • The approach of “Being let go or moving on yourself” is really on point. It’s a great approach, I’m down with the program.:100:

  1. Moralis is not called a family, because a family is something totally different than what the company looks for. A family tolerates averageness. A family is also a life commitment, compared to a job where you actually change it. Individual performance is not taken into account in a family.

  2. An elite sports team is a better analogy for a Moralis team.

  3. An elite sports team is like a family, but not actually. You know them very well, you spend maybe more time with them than with your family. You care for each other, you respect each other. You celebrate wins together and you console losses together. They know each other so well that you move forward together without speaking.

  4. The Moralis manager (coach) needs to ensure that they have the best person on each position. It is completely fine if that changes, and there is no shame if someone is let go from the elite team.

  5. A Moralis team member should be like a professional athlete: to drive for excellence, to expect feedback from peers, to be aware that effort is not enough without performance. Besides these, also having communication and collaboration skills is key within a high performing team.

  6. I think Moralis is for me because I do not value job security over great achievements and and I really enjoy the culture Moralis is putting upfront. I enjoy working with high skilled individuals and I of course enjoy being on the winning team :slight_smile:

  7. The main thing to remember is that there should be no shame if you are let go, or you see somebody let go.

  8. I very much like this approach because like any elite football club, that is the way in which you win the Champions League. Sometimes you need to make tough decisions in order to achieve monumental heights.

  1. We don’t call Moralis a family because we have a more professional perspective on things that we value very much such as Talent Density, Result, Efficiency… we are a team.
  2. A relationship - as long as we like each other, we’d do everything to keep the other happy… or like an elite sports team…
  3. We deeply care for each other and support each other.
  4. A Moralis manages ensures that positions are filled with best performers, and creates a strong bond of camaraderie.
  5. Excellence
  6. For the last few days I’ve been having so much fun learning new things. I’m enjoying having new ideas flow inside my head whenever I am showed new parts of my responsibilities. And if one day it is decided that I don’t get to stay, I’d just be very appreciative with the experience that I have made here.
  7. That it is okay
  8. I’m not against it. I respect it. And it’s not something new to me having to have worked in corporate jobs for years now.

  1. Because we value talent density, results, and efficiency. While family is for life, Moralis won’t be. People move on once they don’t feel motivated, compensated, etc.
  2. Elite Team.
  3. We care and support each other. We win and lose together.
  4. Kind of like a coach. They make sure all positions are filled with elite people.
  5. We demand excellence. We aim high and make sure everyone is striving for those high goals, if not you get swapped.
  6. Yes!
  7. There is zero shame. Playing at the highest level means it’s an achievement on its own.
  8. I think aiming high and setting massive goals with a dedicated team is where the magic happens - and nothing else should be accepted. If players don’t want to put in the hours and create something great, then maybe this team isn’t for you. No hard feelings, 100% transparency.

    That sometimes it is the moment to let go, it doesn’t mean you are bad, it just might mean that that person and Moralis have different priorities at that moment, even if they used to have the same previously and now have changed. There is zero shame in this happening

  8. What is your personal view on this approach?
    If you want to be at the edge, have the biggest impact possible and play with the best team, which will get that, you have to understand that you need to be at that level and adapt to the changing environment but maintaining the expected quality
