"
What a cool company culture. telling people they are doing good in person is nice, telling it to them and also sharing it with the world is great
- leipert 6y agoGitLab employee here: The MVPs are not employees, but community contributors as outlined here: https://about.gitlab.com/community/mvp/ https://about.gitlab.com/community/mvp/ But yes, I agree: it is very nice to share the achievements of our OSS contributors with the world :)
- harrisonjackson 6y agoTIL! That is awesome and as a customer/user I'd love to see internal recognition, too! Maybe this would detract from the actual efforts of the other employees but it doesn't necessarily have to be employee of the month - could just be Kudos to X and Y for knocking out this lingering bug or adding this most wanted feature.
- sytse 6y agoI agree recognition is important. We have an internal #thanks channel that got 20+ posts today of people being thanked. Also more than 10% of the company gets a $1000 discretionary bonus every month. We're doing an experiment of making videos for some of these bonuses that optionally can be made public.
