Do you think location based pay aligns with Gitlab's values?
Comment · 2 years ago
There are multiple issues with GitLab as a company. They pay their staff based on location and not the output of their work which is in direct contradiction of their values of "Results" and "Diversity, Inclusivity and Belonging".

And how the location factors are decided is not shared with the staff, just vague hand waving of industry averages. This again is again in contradiction with their "transparency" value.

I can point out a lot more things. They might be transparent, but are not above exploiting folks from weaker economies.

No. Their prices are not adjusted for local market rates because their reasons only make sense when paying their employees.

> Why we pay local rates?

> Team members in high-wage regions having much less discretionary income than ones in low-wage countries with the same role.
