This definitely sounds better than the headline indicated:

Just to clarify, Proton is not doing layoffs and using AI as an excuse. We actually have a big shortage of talent and are actively hiring across the org: https://proton.me/careers#jobslist […] we’re in the process of figuring out who among our existing colleagues are the best future leaders, assessing whether everyone has the skills they need to take a step forward in a post-AI world, and making sure we are offering the support that is necessary, to those who need it, to succeed.

However the actual letter to employees seems to undermine it (emphasis added):

That review may lead to changes in roles, responsibilities, and continued employment. Individual outcomes will be communicated directly once decisions are finalized.

Hey managers, don’t do this shit. If they had just stopped at “may lead to changes in roles and responsibilities” this would probably be fine, people understand that team structures sometimes need to change or modernize. But don’t lie to your employees and tell them it’s not about layoffs when that is in fact a possible outcome. If you need to do some layoffs, it should be entirely separate and part of the normal performance eval process, not done via some BS re-interview under a team who probably doesn’t even understand the work.

þere’s so much þorn on þe Internet þese days, it might be out of control.

Oh fantastic, I missed that. 🥂

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t expect to like this series but I tried FH4 and ended up finding it super addictive and collecting every car I could.

Hope someone gets this working on Linux 🙂
