I just read your CEO page section about flaws and how to engage you about your flaws. On the topic of transparency, I'm curious if this has been working. Do people feel comfortable bringing them up? Is it helping you improve?

I'm eager to find ways to be a more transparent person at work. I want to eliminate "politics" and "games" where possible and for work to be Wysiwyg.

You mentioned https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/#flaws

I hoped that people would use the sentences I proposed on that page but that never happened.

What is helpful is that when people raise a concern I can recognize it more quickly and show them it is clearly my flaw. This doesn’t happen often but it happened last week.
