That ship has sailed IMO, in that even in single location orgs you will have foreign employees with potential legal obligation toward different governments, and domestic employees with strong ties to other countries.
From that point of view Gitlab’s diacussion on hiring or not employees from specific countries seems a bit old (except if it’s for paperwork reasons)
- throwawaypolicy 7y agoYou will have employees from foreign countries, but not employees living in foreign countries. This not only changes the degree to which the foreign country can influence them, but it changes the degree to which other countries can retaliate if they act as spies. For a recent example, see the twitter employees who were spying for Saudi Arabia.
