1. Can we stop calling salaried corporate jobs “adventures?” Gag. Literally the opposite of an adventure.
2. This is way too similar to the Gitlab employee handbook, just glugging down the company kool-aid. Gitlab thinks they’ve figured out work culture despite producing an inferior product to competitors.
3. Writing everything down is exhausting. Asynchronous-only communication is exhausting. That’s a major reason why more companies don’t operate like Gitlab. Throwing face to face communication in the trash is the opposite of agile, might as well write letters to each other and deliver them on horseback.
The summary of this article is “Gitlab is so cheap they make employees write down everything they do and think rather than sparing any expense to facilitate regular in-person communication, and when they do send employees on-site they stiff them on traveling costs with a vague and passive aggressive travel policy that refuses to provide specific guidelines, which will lead to inevitable inequitable enforcement of unwritten rules among a workforce of diverse backgrounds, incomes, and cultural ideals surrounding money.
