Ex-OpenAI Employee Reveals Email-Free Workplace Culture

Imagine a company called OpenAI that makes AI programs like the cool coding assistant Codex.

One person who worked there, Calvin, said it's a unique place.

Instead of emails, they mostly used Slack to talk to each other.

The company was growing super fast while he was there.

People worked hard and things moved quickly.

Calvin said that OpenAI's research was flexible.

He left because he was tired and wanted to lead his own team instead of being a follower, but was also lucky to have been involved in the company.
