For those who are a little confused about the no politics at work thing...
If you read the policy we link to about politics, we mention people talking politics during coffee chats, 1-on-1s, etc, but as a general rule we don't lead with those topics.
We focus on inclusion, and we have been very successful at that by respecting others and making work a collaborative, judgment free place. As someone who sometimes has the minority opinion I have absolutely loved this policy, and I feel closer and more accepted by my colleagues as a result.
I'm very proud to work at GitLab.
- bluntfang 7y agowhat marketing firm do you work for? Oh you're literally the content marketer for gitlab lol (as per your comment history). you're literally getting paid to say this.
- codezero 7y agoThat doesn’t make it untrue or any less valuable.
- bluntfang 7y agoI believe the context of his employment and role completely strips the value from the statements.
- codezero 7y agoFair point. I disagree. I’ve worked with plenty of sincere and reasonable marketers. None of them have shilled publicly under their own name when they weren’t sincere. Startups are on the above average side of hard working and thoughtful people, in my experience. If you want to shit on marketers, go ahead.
