GitLab team member here for over 3 years. Can confirm, it works exactly as advertised. The detailed description above is totally in line with my experience. The two essential eleme…

Thanks for the kind words! Darren from GitLab here. It's a gift to see the world embracing these shifts and building more flexible workplaces. Onward!

Darren here from GitLab — warms my heart to hear that our remote guides are being used and making lives/companies better. Thank you!

Love this approach to using GitLab to incorporate intentional documentation in sync meetings. I work at GitLab, and we use the platform to collaborate, but I've not used it as desc…

Lots of great advice already given. If you want a 1:1 advisor, I recommend Jordan Carroll: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanscarroll/

Thanks for the share! Happy to discuss takeaways here if folks are interested. (I work at GitLab and helped architect this report.)

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

"but to actually perform thinking writing" We have a guide that covers top attributes of great remote hires. This will be merged into that guide soon: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com…

We use video at GitLab. Lots of it embedded in our remote management course through Coursera, for example: https://www.coursera.org/learn/remote-team-management We also have GitLab…

GitLab team member here. Written communication is vital in a remote company, and makes all types of companies operate more transparently and efficiently. At GitLab, we don't just d…

That's essentially how we interpreted it as well. Tools are still important, and useful in the right context, but we're in a period now where tools are not hindering remote prolife…

Great points. Some interesting survey results from Gartner here that may be interesting to you: https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2020-04-0...

Awesome to hear this. The "same playing field" bit is significant.

Flexibility is key. Even at GitLab, you don't have to work from home. You can expense external office and/or coworking fees: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/spending-company-mone…

You aren't alone. It's easy to conflate "remote" with what's happening right now, but it's not the same. Crisis-induced work-from-home while doubling as a homeschool teacher is not…

Here's GitLab's guide on async: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/asynchro... It's a challenge for suddenly-remote companies which aren't used to working this way…

The 'Residence Country' is listed on Page 7. Fair point on reiterating in the 'Methodology' section on Page 3. Thanks!

Tough to fully answer this question without context, but a few thoughts which may be useful. I work at GitLab, the world's largest all-remote organization, and have 14 years of exp…

I've built a library of guides, all public in the GitLab handbook. http://allremote.info/ The one below seems most germane for your particular question. How to adjust to remote for…

Happy to answer questions about remote as well! Loads of guides in the links Sid mentioned. Plenty to watch in our Remote Work playlist at GitLab Unfiltered: https://www.youtube.co…

Thanks for including GitLab in the report, Hrishikesh! For those looking to learn more on remote, or leaders/founders considering it, here are a few resources that were used in thi…

Thanks for reading the GitLab handbook! We're building out the all-remote sections, including a new section on onboarding within learning & development: https://about.gitlab.com/co…

Thanks very much! We're building out the all-remote section with new pages on a regular basis. Just added dedicated sections for people, jobs, meetings, compensation, hiring, etc.

I recently joined GitLab to lead its all-remote initiatives. I've lived and worked remotely in a variety of settings (all-remote, remote-first, part-remote, etc.) and I'm building …
