Gitlab and remote work

I saw a list of companies that paid the same regardless of location. There were even a few bay area companies that didn't cut your pay when you moved away, I wish I had that handy.

Thats certainly a self-proclaimed title.

Aye. I like Gitlab for pushing remote work, but sure feels like trying to pivot into selling shovels by claiming to be 'experts' on a 'difficult topic'.

Still paying according to location for the same work?

What's the problem with that? If Gitlab is not paying top of the market salaries, then they're just going to miss out on top talent, and clearly they're fine with it. It's a free market after all, you don't have to join Gitlab.

Last I heard they were which makes them NOT a leader in remote work lol

They underpay in general which is why their product is buggy

Absolutely nothing is wrong with it.

Just don't call yourself a world leader.

I think it would be nice to, and probably time for, gitlab to get its playbook finalised and in printed form, with an isbn and everything.
