Around the world in 6 releases

Two GitLab team members, Douwe and Robert, embarked on a six-month journey across 20 cities and 14 countries to visit and work with 49 colleagues, leveraging GitLab's policy of covering travel costs for employees to meet in person. This initiative highlighted the benefits of remote work by allowing team members to connect deeply beyond virtual interactions, fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding among colleagues who typically interact online. Despite the challenges of different time zones and remote work dynamics, the trip underscored GitLab's core values of kindness and inclusivity, as team members welcomed the travelers into their homes and cities, reinforcing the notion of GitLab as a cohesive and supportive community. The experience also provided insights into various global work environments and the significance of personal interactions in enhancing remote work relationships, prompting GitLab to encourage more such visits in the future to strengthen its global team culture.
