Set expectations, manage better

GitLab Inc, as it grows to over 150 remote employees, faces challenges in maintaining productivity and remote culture, particularly as management trends towards traditional structures with increased meetings and reviews. The concern is that these practices can hinder efficiency and the unique culture of remote work. The solution proposed is to establish clear expectations for communication and deliverables, emphasizing trust in employees to manage themselves and over-communicate when necessary. This approach aligns with GitLab's policy of hiring self-managing individuals, as the company avoids traditional project management roles to maintain decision-making freedom and accountability among its team members. By doing so, GitLab aims to retain those who thrive in a self-managed environment while acknowledging that this model may not fit everyone. These principles are documented in GitLab's open-source handbook, inviting contributions and transparency.
