That's my reading of their recent post.
Here are their "full context" screenshots:
Do they not see that you're not supposed to talk in that tone to your employees, or anyone for that matter? There's no hint at respect, no "please do this for me" type requests. Just bossing around like an a-hole or like a bad parent you don't want in your life.
We all understand companies need be sustainable, but privacy focused customers are often looking as much at the company as the product. Values, principles, and trust are the reason we pay for these products year after year. Andy always seems clueless as to who Protons paying audience is, thinks he is pumping out widgets in a factory
Unlike Andys prior remarks which were enough for some like me to bail, this hits at a whole new level
trust in the product itself, what other slippery slopes is Andy willing to take a slide down? Not to mention denigrating your skilled employees, truly insane stuff
If Andy has any values left he would resign today for the better of Proton and their employees, customers. Going forward, he offers only toxicity
