Legal Stuff They Don't Tell You About Remote Work

My company - Jitbit - is an all remote company. We are 100% distributed, we don't have an office and our teammates literally work from around the globe (currently it's the UK, the US, Latvia, Israel and Turkey).

So it might seem strange for me to warn people against remote work. But let's have a look from the employee's angle.

Product update: Out of Office status for users

This product update is for the hosted customers only, not the on-premise ones.

As you probably already know, we provide a built-in email address for every client.

Any email sent to this address instantly creates a ticket or adds a reply to an existing ticket.

Fix The Damn Docs

We blog a lot about customer service here.

Best practices, useful metrics, "how X helps with this" and "how Y helps with that", blah-blah, yada-yada...

Customer Support by Founders

I love answering support tickets. And - even though my team hates this - I try to do that every day. No, really, ask our customers. Nothing gives me a better understanding of how things are going, than spending an hour or two talking to our clients.
