> not all jobs are remote

GitLab claims to be "Remote Only": https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/

That's correct. We don't have any offices. You're free to work from home, a coworking space (by our expense) or anywhere else, but there's no GitLab office.

We have a 'headquarters', which is also where Sytse (CEO) lives, where there are a number of desks available for special occasions, but no one is ever required to work from a particular place.

So, to quote the original post that prompted the theory about "not all jobs are remote", which I then replied to:

> Why does Location matter? Does it matter if have 10 kids, or a lease on a Porsche, or 2 alimonies, or live in a McMansion, or my kid has cancer? Are those factors relevant? What makes Location special?
