Reflection: My eighth year at GitLab and working on Product Operations reporting to the Chief of Staff to CPMO

It’s about 2 months early for my 8 year work anniversary reflection. However, my work situation has changed, and it feels like the right time to be reflecting on the past (almost a) year.

It’s interesting that 8 years sounds like a long time, but since I’ve changed divisions a couple of times, it also doesn’t feel super long. Definitely hard to believe it’s been ~2.5 years since I left Support, but I still have coffee chats with all the new team members! (And I’m still waiting for that t-shirt.)

Also intriguing, there are still 65 at the company that started before me, so almost one quarter of the people from when I started. That’s quite good after 8 years.

Reflection: Second half of my seventh year at GitLab and doing Strategy & Operations for Product (and Engineering)

This week is my seventh anniversary at GitLab, and it’s still a little hard to believe. At this point, there are 82 people who started before me and are still at the company. That’s actually pretty good, 7 years later, when there were about 275 people when I started, so about a third are still here.

If you’re interested in an explanation of my current role/team and what I was working on in the first 6 or so months, check out my previous reflection post.
