Discussion: How tightly should we limit our pool of onboarding buddies?
As we transition from one group into APM and Health, should we be coordinating and selecting onboarding buddies from all of the Monitor group or just our sub-stages?
By pulling from all of monitor, we may be able to better ensure the same person doesn't always have to onboard new hires since we currently have smaller teams with members who likely have not yet been with GitLab for 3 months. Additionally, since timezone is often a critical part of selecting a buddy, we would have more options for aligning timezones.
One potential downside would include the new hire not having the immediate opportunity to build rapport with someone on their team.
