Protonmail.uservoice.com is supposedly "The Voice of the Proton Community". Well last week I was tracking a post that was rising rapidly to the top-most voted in the "general ideas" category. And this morning when I went to check if it was at the top yet, it's just gone without a trace. No sign that it was ever there.

The fact Andy Yen has not resigned nor the board removed him, shows Proton can no longer be recommended in good faith, IMO. They have lost their way. Also find it logical that many of Protons top talent are pursuing alternative employment. Being called losers is high motivation for people who take pride in their skills.

This wasn't the first time Andy showed us who he is. Won't be the last.

    I didn't know their top talent is leaving. Do you have an article?

    It would be very risky to not be looking for a new job after your employer schedules a "re-interview" and threatens your "continuous employment".

    Yeah. I get that. I would leave too. I just thought there was additional info suggesting high performer bleed

    There is no evidence of this taking place. The users who replied to you are making assumptions.

    So to answer your question, there is no such info.

    In my experience, most of the Proton hate is unfounded and just users stanning for Mulvad. The Mulvad co-founder turned out to be a fascist. Oddly enough, there is little to no Mulvad hate.

    Proton's CEO is a dick but what CEO isn't? It's a prerequisite to be CEO, no? But there are no signs he's a fascist. He also backed down from his comments and actions. Most leaders simply wouldn't do that. He read the room.

    Also, Proton is also a non-profit, which most don't seem to realize. That means more to me than a CEO being a dickhead about capitalism (the system used world-fucking-wide) and AI stupidity. YMMV.

    Bro fell for the HR response. Get off the sinking ship whioe you can. OpenAI was also a non profit.

    Not to totally discredit you here, but we need to ask for better service and leadership. We can settle for better than Mullvad or Proton.
