Gitlab considers not hiring SREs and Support Engineers in China and Russia

And on my own re-read: "Current team members are prevented from moving to these countries and remaining in a role that prohibits it."

That would seem to apply to current employees in Russia / China who are in roles covered by the block.

Which is kind of A Big Deal.

No? It would seem to apply to current employees who move to Russia/China who are in roles covered by the block. i.e. they would have the choice of moving and changing roles/quitting, or staying.

Depends on whether you read that as:

X: "Current team members"

A: "moving to these countries"

B: "remaining in a role that prohibits it"

X are prevented from BOTH A AND B.

(X may do neither A NOR B)

Or:

X are prevented from (A AND B).

Whether or not remaining in one of these countries and MOVING to a role that prohibits it is included in the prohibition is unclear.

Someone's future transfer may hinge on that.
