  • This is a somewhat similar situation to one of my last jobs.

    I was long overdue a department transfer. I requested it during a performance review. My boss told me he needed me in my current department, but would keep me in mind if an opportunity came up.

    He pulled me into a meeting and told me he was going to transfer me to my desired department.

    It was taking a while, so I kept asking. My boss kept giving me the same answer: “I’m still getting things ready”.

    9 months went by before I finally got moved. This department tranfer nonsense was the tip of the iceberg of my boss’ BS. I was so frustrated that 1 week later, I handed in my two weeks notice.

    Sure thing.

    “Proton VPN is operated by Proton AG, which values transparency and sustainability. Its unlimited data means fewer interruptions and wasteful reconnections” - Green City Times

    Not to mention that Proton is mainly based in Switzerland. According to their website, their data centers are housed in former military bases.

    “Our critical infrastructure, like our Secure Core VPN servers, is housed in secure data centers or on former military bases. Using these locations prevents anyone from being able to tamper with our servers.” - Proton’s own website

    They also offer their services for free rather than pushing users towards paid tiers. Unlimited data on every tier. Not something you see very often these days.

    Not to mention that Proton has been autited before and all of their claims regarding how they operate have held up in court.

    And considering Proton’s reputation of Customer > Profit, it’s not exactly surprising that their methods are ethical. For years they have been one of the few internet companies who don’t harvest your data and prioritize money.

    I know that Proton isn’t an AI company because I have been using their services for years. Long before this AI bubble was ever a thing. They only released Lumo last year.
