Values & Work Principles
This is the part where we tell you that we here at Juicy Marbles are not just coworkers, we are a family. JUST KIDDING! We aren’t into these corporate hyperboles. You have your own family, here we’re your teammates. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to develop strong emotional bonds with your fellow co-workers. Au contraire! We just like to keep it real.
This page is dedicated to our “code of conduct”. This list serves as a guide to help us have a more chill time with one another. Idealistic as it may seem, it’s worth striving for. And corny and self-evident as it may seem, it’s still worth striving for! Dig in:
🌎 Our work has a positive impact on society.
Do work that would make momma proud.
Strive to do great work. Something you would gladly show somebody whose opinion matters to you.
Be a real person, be human
Do the world a favour, don't act a version of yourself you think others want to see.
Work WITH people
Include others in your work. Share your knowledge and learn from others. The best work happens when people work together.
We don't have to impress everyone
Trying to impress everyone leads to mediocre work. Nothing is universally liked. However, authenticity always find an audience.
🤨 Question established ways of doing things.
Ask yourself “why” frequently, yet tastefully
Question everything, but avoid untimely provocation.
Dare to imagine “What if I'm not right?” from time to time
Assuming you know best because you've done it before kills creativity in others.
Don’t be too quick to shoot ideas or opinions down.
Take time to ask how people arrived at them. Explain why you believe the idea is (not) good.
Disagree & commit
Question decisions but also learn when to let go and trust.
🫀Communicate openly, honestly & respectfully.
Make your colleagues feel seen & heard
Ask them how they’re doing and then listen with your full attention.
Talk to people, not about people
It’s ok to vent a little, but address the right person asap. Don’t let negativity spread.
Communicate a lot
Don’t assume people know, like, anything. Earn trust by over-communicating. Be transparent.
Lead & own
Lead by example. Be honest about your progress, fuckups, apologise if needed, and take responsibility for making things right.
🎨 Resist any temptations to do mediocre work. Work with gusto.
Be efficient and effective
No matter what, find ways to finish the task at hand in an economical way (time, resources, effort).
Plan / estimate how much time tasks will take
Plans change but you should still attempt to plan. Rather say no to a task then overplan.
Always be making (better) systems
Think of how to save time for work that has to be repeated. Make sure you share your findings with others.
Never let tasks linger unfinished, all tasks must get done
Be proactive, take on (complex) tasks and push to finish them. If you get in trouble, remember: asking for help is a sign of trust - if done on time.
Debrief after each project
How else are we supposed to learn (from our mistakes)?
Beat your prior best
Strive to grow, and set goals for yourself.
🦧 You don’t have to be a serious person to take your work seriously.
You can pull a prank on anyone in the company
Hierarchy is there to make us work easier, not to make us inaccessible to each other.
We’re all weird in some way
We all have our “thing”. It's ok not to make sense sometimes.
Laugh at yourself
We are all just sexy monkeys on a gorgeous space rock drifting through the universe. And yet, we pay rent. What's not to laugh?
Vrednote in principi dela
To je del, kjer vam povemo, da Juicy Marbles nismo le sodelavci, ampak smo družina. HEC! Te korporativne hiperbole niso naš stil. Jasno nam je, da že imate svojo družino, mi tukaj pa smo vaši sodelavci. Seveda to ne pomeni, da so močne čustvene vezi s sodelavci prepovedane. Nasprotno! Radi bi le ostali na realnih tleh.
Ta stran je posvečena našim smernicam dobrega sodelovanja. Služi kot vodnik, ki nam pomaga, da uživamo pri delu drug z drugim. Čeprav se zdi idealistično, si je za to vredno prizadevati. Tudi če se sliši pocukrano in samoumevno.
Takole gre:
🌎 Naše delo pozitivno vpliva na družbo.
Delaj stvari, na katere bi bila ponosna tvoja mama.
Prizadevaj si za odlično delo. Za delo, ki bi ga z veseljem pokazal/a nekomu, ki ga zelo ceniš.
Bodi človek.
Ne pretvarjaj se. Ne blefiraj, da bi navdušil/a. Izogibaj se politiki in bodi pravičen/a. Naredi vtis s pristnostjo, ne s pretvarjanjem.
Delaj skupaj z ljudmi.
Vključuj sodelavce v svoj delovni proces. Deli svoje znanje in se uči od drugih. Timsko delo pripelje do najboljših rezultatov.
Ni ti treba navdušiti vseh ljudi na svetu, saj to vodi v povprečne rezultate.
Nič ni všeč vsem - pristne stvari pa vedno najdejo svoje občinstvo.
🤨 Dvomi v uveljavljene načine dela, če te to pelje k napredku.
Velikokrat, a okusno in trenutku primerno vprašaj “zakaj”.
Dvomi v vse, a ne provociraj samo zato, ker lahko.
Vsake toliko časa si predstavljaj, da nimaš prav.
Ne ubij kreativnosti pri sodelavcih s predpostavko, da znaš sam/a najbolje, ker si to že počel/a.
Ne zatri prehitro ideje ali mnenja drugega.
Vzemi si čas in vprašaj sodelavce, kako so prišli do neke ideje. Razloži, zakaj se ti zdi, da je ideja dobra ali slaba.
Dvomi, a zaupaj.
Dovoljeno je, da se ne strinjaš, a hkrati tudi začuti, ko moraš svoje nestrinjanje opustiti in preprosto zaupati.
🫀Komuniciraj odprto, pošteno in spoštljivo.
Daj sodelavcem občutek, da so videni in slišani.
Vprašaj jih, kako so in jim posveti vso svojo pozornost.
Govori z ljudmi, ne o ljudeh.
Vsakega kdaj kaj zmoti, a poskusi težave nasloviti čim prej neposredno z osebo, da lahko skupaj najdeta rešitev. Ne dovoli, da se negativnost širi. Pohvali javno, grajaj ena na ena.
Veliko komuniciraj. Zasluži si zaupanje s transparentnostjo.
Ne predvidevaj, da ljudje karkoli že vedo - vzemi si čas za pogovor in jim razloži kontekst.
Vodi z zgledom in priznaj svoje napake.
Bodi iskren/a glede svojih napak, opraviči se, če je potrebno in prevzemi odgovornost, da stvari popraviš.
🎨 Upri se skušnjavi, da bi svoje delo opravil/a povprečno. Delaj z “guštom”.
Bodi učinkovit/a in ekonomičen/a.
Ne glede na vse najdi način, da nalogo zaključiš čim bolj optimalno - vezano na čas, sredstva in energijo udeleženih oseb.
Dobro planiraj čas za svoje naloge in projekte.
Potrudi se načrtovati svoje delo in čas, tudi če se plani spreminjajo. Raje reci ne, kot pa da vzameš nase nemogoče količine nalog.
Ustvarjaj vedno boljše sisteme.
Razmišljaj, kako bi prihranil/a čas za delo, ki se večkrat ponavlja. Poskrbi, da svoje ideje glede optimizacije deliš z drugimi.
Nikoli ne pusti, da delo ostane nedokončano.
Bodi proaktiven/a, prevzemaj zahtevne naloge in vztrajaj, da se zaključijo. Če se zatakneš, si zapomni: prositi za pomoč je znak zaupanja, a le, če to storiš pravočasno.
Vsak projekt zaključi s povzetkom.
Pogovori se o vsem, kar je šlo dobro in čemu bi se morali naslednjič izogniti. Uči se iz svojih napak in rasti iz izkušenj.
Premagaj staro verzijo sebe.
Postavi si cilje zase, bodi ambiciozen/a.
🤣 Ni ti treba biti resna oseba, a svoje delo jemlji resno.
Pri nas se lahko s komerkoli pohecaš.
Hierarhijo imamo za več jasnosti, ne za postavljanje zidov.
Vsi smo po svoje čudni in posebni.
V redu je, če se kdaj ujameš v iskanju smisla svojih dejanj.
Nasmej se sebi.
Vsi skupaj smo le opice na čudoviti vesoljski ladji, ki pluje skozi našo galaksijo. Zakaj se ne bi smejali? 😃
