Gitlab gives few reasons in their handbook [1]. The obvious one is: "If we start paying everyone the highest wage our compensation costs would increase greatly, we can hire fewer people, and we would get less results."

- bluGill 7y agoSo why doesn't GitLab fire all their high cost of living employees and replace them with someone cheaper?
- travisjungroth 7y agoThey say then they’d only have people who live in low CoL areas and they want diversity. Seems odd to me.
- junipertea 7y agoBecause I assume they have a headquarters which would be empty. Firing high-cost of living, high expertise employees to hire new ones (might be senior level, but not well versed in the problem) does not sound wise.
