> The claim being made is as follows: "paying workers geo-adjusted wages precludes a company from being a global leader in remote work". That's just a counter-claim; a denial of the original claim, which was Gitlab's "We are a global leader". With quite a lot of people saying"No, your behaviour is by definition not that of a leader", I'd say the burden of proof still lies squarely on Gitlab's shoulders: They made a rather bold claim, they get to show that it isn't BS.
