Dev Diary #332 Office Pets of Bohemia Interactive

Ahoy Ylanders!

The summer holiday season is in full swing, people are having a great time outside the office, but do you know what makes them excited to come back to work? It's our furry colleagues! We figured we might introduce some members of our team who you probably don't know yet.

Ylands Canistheraphy Team

Yes, we have our own team. Working in the gaming industry is quite mentally demanding and this is the best way to cope with all the stress. Let's meet the team!

Rocky

This good boy is a senior canistheraphist for Ylands team who is present almost every day and boosts our morale tremendously. He received his canistheraphy license in 2019 (seriously, he passed the test) and is spreading joy in our team for almost year and a half now.

Haiki

She might be small but her dedication to driving away any potential threat is immense! Sometimes, it's a bit too much, as pigeon outside a window can mean an involuntary break from a meeting. Yet, she makes up for it by letting us scratch her belly, so win-win!

Charlie

The smallest of our therapists, Charlie sits at the reception, making sure we are always stocked up on fruit, vegetables and candies.

Home Office Squad

It would be a pity to stay in the team of Ylands so we've included more Bohemia Interactive pet workers from other teams as well. Especially cats, as they are the most active home office helpers. You know, sitting in your spot, judging the quality of our work or sleeping on our keyboards.

Slack channel for cute pets photos

Yes, that's what we do. Whether it's from the office, home office or holiday people are sending their cuties for others to admire. It is called #Random-Aww and everyday you can find photos just like these there. A lot of our furry friends even have their own emoji on our company Slack!

Feel free to share your own pets with us here or on our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/ylands

Stay Classy!
