Very cool to see another GitLab spin off. Also great to see it's another OSS

The employee would be employed by the EoR on paper. Hence employer _of record_. But otherwise acts as a normal employee of the actual employer. > And how is the situation when the …

Generally: no. There are cases and/or ways where you can e.g. hire someone under a local contract without owning a local entity, but that doesn't scale much beyond that, and you'd …

If you hire someone in another country, you (employer) must fully comply with local labor laws, tax requirements, run payroll and pay any local dues in local currency. This is only…

Can you email me with the needs? I'm sure we can work something out. I don't think the tax accountant is able to be a local liable employer, like we are.

We tend to be the most affordable employer of record with quite some margin. Paying contractors is free through us.

FWIW we [0] employ a lot of people in the EU working remotely and a large part of them earns SF/NY salaries. Probably a strong selection bias to the types of companies that choose …

I've been using this one [0], which lays under your mattress and is surprisingly accurate (have many night time wakings due to young kid). It tracks movement, even heart rate and s…

Fair question, and I think yes! If you mainly do your meetings remotely (which I do), you want your interactions to be as high-bandwidth as possible. There is value, and data, in r…

It makes no sense. I use a $100 Logitech Webcam and _regularly_ get comments about how sharp and clear the video is, using Zoom. There's value in a better camera, even in laptops.

Yep me, together with the author of the post, Marcelo.

It is! Happy to chat about it in detail if you're interested.

We're working on something at Remote. While working at GitLab, I saw the issues they were having, so we're building an alternative to CXC and Safeguard. Launching a little launch p…

I think any company should pay for equipment for their employees. GitLab does this, we will do this. Desk, monitor, computer, chair, etc. Alternatively, offer a budget for a cowork…

Thanks - goal is not to build a job board. Goal is to move remote working forward. A job board is an obvious start if done well (note: we have a long way to go, right now). Hiring …

Thanks - good idea. My plan is to make that kind of content available on Remote.com and not just in a book.

We should be much more transparent about this, you're right. We're going to split this up between your profile and your contacts, and make it explicit what happens.

This looks cool. Looking forward to give it a try. For years I've been using Deckset[0] for all my presentations. Being able to just edit a text file to write and update slides is …
