Differentiate between HasRemote vs RemoteFirst #727
Comments
Hi @rezen 100%. I completely see what you're talking about here and I've heard the horror stories. This is a nice-to-have but something maybe to do this year. We're at ~450 entries now so that may take some time to go through. Any suggestions for how this would be formatted/included? |
I think for starters appending the column and just have a question mark that people can back fill. This will help ensure with new PRs people will have that filled out. |
Retroactively organizing and improving data quality is hard in a project like this. Probably the best place to put this new piece of information is under the "Remote status" field in the profile for each company, we should be looking to remove columns from the main readme rather than adding more. We can adapt our validator script to only recognize specific values like "Fully remote", "Remote first", "Partially remote" in the first paragraph of this field, and allow another paragraph of optional text (some companies already have this). Once the data quality is pretty good, then this bit of information can be added to the main page of the site dynamically when it is built, and a filter can be added to the search on the main page for remote status. It will take a bit of work to get good data but I think an organized effort to backfill this field is the only way to add this in a way that makes it really useful. Similar discussion for the Country/Region fields and a plan for how to improve the data quality there: #485 |
Hey can you assign this issue to me |
Same reply as #482 (comment) @Jaya-sys Thanks. |
Many organizations have remote employees, but an organization that is remote first is likely to behave differently than one that simply has remote employees. Making clear the organizational commitment level to remote'ness (culture) is likely helpful. For example, I suspect Automattic remote is not the same as Stripe remote because Stripe has employees in offices affecting communication patterns & organizational politics.
Another option to make clear what level of remote'ness an org is would be to have a column indicating a rough percent ff employees that work remote.
