It will be impossible to trust this company again until Yen and the rest of the C-suite resign.
After those discussions with leadership and the board, “We’ve decided to actually cancel the re-interviews,” Yen said. “Why? Well, I think actually in a, let’s say, unintentional way, they have actually already served their purpose.” As in, employees are now talking and learning about AI.
These morons just don’t know when to quit.
So they admit it was all about scaring the peasants?
It‘s ridiculous. They claim they actually have a shortage of highly skilled developers and that‘s supposedly why they‘re focusing so hard on vibe coding. But this whole re-interviewing thing would just have made their actual problem of a toxic work environment of fear and shaming even worse. Who would want to work there? Not someone who has the privilege to choose. They needed to get rid of that CEO yesterday.
I’ve been slow to transition away from Google products but I gotta say… to make an effort to ditch Google and then have THIS happen to you? I feel bad for those people. I really do… You do the right thing and get slapped in the face. Not fair.
I’m glad I listened to the People arround here, who said to not lay all of your eggs in a single basket. Thats the reason why I skipped proton and use VPN and Mail from different companies now.
What are the consensus Email/Drive and VPN privacy focused replacement options?
Tuta seems legit but no bundled VPN service.
That’s a benefit, IMO. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket with bundled platforms.
Glad i moved to tuta for mail

Why would a government employee, being charged with a crime, randomly make up lies about tutanota, now Tuta?
The likely answer is he didn’t make up lies and wanted to expose an operation as revenge for them charging him with a crime, which he thought he would likely be convicted of.
Cameron Ortis did actually get 14 years in prison. So if this were merely a disinformation campaign, why did he end up in prison?
For this accusation to be false, you need it to be true that Ortis randomly decided to lie about Tutanota (now Tuta) during a trial or had some incentive to lie during trial to spread misinformation about Tuta. However, there was no plea deal in this case. He was granted day parole in September of 2026, but I don’t know that much about Canadian prisons or law and if this would be considered unusual.
The fact that Tutanota rebranded to Tuta nearly immediately after this (to make it harder for regular people searching for this to discover it) is also suspicious.
Thanks for this article. I wasn’t aware. If both proton and tuta are or becoming dodgy, where can i go? Mailbox.org?
I’m not sure of the answer. There are some good suggestions other people gave.
