Proton to re-interview staff on AI use, with jobs possibly at stake
Original title: Proton To ‘Re-Interview’ Staff About AI To See Who Gets To Keep Their Job
An internal email says interviews from November 4 to 11 may change roles or continued employment.
Proton told staff Monday it would re-interview employees across the company on how they use AI, according to an internal email obtained by 404 Media. Interview assessments will inform an organizational review that may change roles, responsibilities, and continued employment. CEO Andy Yen had already interviewed more than 40 senior leaders in engineering and product. Proton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Unconfirmed: 404 Media says it obtained the email; Proton had not commented when the story was published.
