Let Al's story be the antidote for CTRL Labs' acquisition 😀
Are you a believer in the future of remote working involving distributed teams interacting in a VR world? Facebook's recent ~$1 billion acquisition of CTRL Labs will surely be of interest to you. With Building 8 failing, this is Facebook's bet to get it right this time. The fact that its wrist band is capable of reading brain signals does little to calm nerves though. Ahh, Facebook, not again

!Getting our Remote Working Chronicles to a perfect start, Al shares his experiences of transitioning from Google to a remote working role. A "data-lover", he stumbled into remote work but has since also fallen in love with working remotely. He surely would like to catch more casual coffees 
with his co-workers, though. Do read his story - it is fun, real, and, importantly, very helpful!
