There is a serious point here that's worth discussing.

My main point in the thread about the volunteer agreement was that we can 
improve the volunteer experience by being explicit about information that so 
far has been implicit or hard to find.

I think the same thing can be said about improving the employee experience -- 
people should have information about what they're signing up for and what it is 
like to work at Mozilla.

An example of how some of this information is still not explicit came up at the 
recent Enabling Communities that have Impact Town Hall.  There were questions 
in the Q&A that made it clear that not everyone understood that part of their 
job involved interacting with and supporting the wider Mozilla community.

One possible way we could address this is to include explicit information in 
job descriptions about the expectation that employees will work in a way that 
enables and supports participation.

I don't think we need a separate agreement here since employees already sign an 
agreement when they join.  Instead we can look at how to be more explicit with 
this information in the process that already exists when new employees join 
Mozilla.

Thanks,
David
