Do we currently have (or have we thought about having) some sort of reimbursement for remote folks internet plans? no biggie either way just curious
I replied:

At a minimum, use this PR to push a document to answer the teammate's question above. Feel free to write more, too, to answer other common questions and make us an aspirational team per our 2019Q4 OKR.
Also should answer the following questions:
