Original author here - I would encourage anyone who wants to learn more to read the entire GitLab Values page [1] - it is massive (would be 51 pages if printed out). This summary is just that - a summary. For example the Spending Company Money page [2] doesn't begin and end with the quote I shared - it just begins with it. It's the starting point, and in no way the articulation of the _entire_ policy. There are lots of guidelines past that to help folks out and understand what is reasonable...but the starting point is what is important. Trusting people to make good decisions for themselves and for the company is a very healthy thing, and I feel bad for folks who haven't gotten to experience that in work environments. Thanks for all the commentary - it was a nice send off to make it to the top of this site for a time :) [1] https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/ https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/ [2] https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/spending-company-money/ https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/spending-company-money/ Edited for spacing and to say - one last time - GitLab employee here.
