From the comments in the article: Hysterical post: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/ So it's everyone else's responsibility to speak up to the CEO (!) to help improve his flaws? This "Readme" seems like psychological manipulation of the masses and at the highest level.

They aren't telling us anything because of "privacy" concerns. Here is what the official response from Sid was: "There was an article published in The Register today regarding the recent departures of female leaders from our company. There were multiple inaccuracies in the article. Because we value the privacy of our current and former employees, we do not discuss personnel issues publicly." EDIT: the official respon…
People only file complaints if they feel safe to do so and the complaints are handled appropriately. A way to lead on transparency might be to share number of investigations, internal and external, and what the findings were. There are ways to share findings without revealing names. Additionally, a company can benefit from transparent remediation discussions, which are very important. Transparency is easy when it com…
They're now supposed to be handled by the Chief Legal Officer which I find odd.

I've anonymously reported an incident as a GitLab employee. It was ignored. I encouraged someone else to report an incident and it was handled dreadfully by the interim Chief People Officer at the time. The person ended up leaving due to the terrible experience and real fear of retaliation. They're now supposed to be handled by the Chief Legal Officer which I find odd.

She told people about a "legal process".
A”legal process”? What does that even mean? What did she say and who did she tell? I still am having current GitLab employees reaching out to me, ones I never even met before, sharing their stories about how they are afraid to make reports, asking me about the legitimacy of the Lighthouse reporting tool, asking if it is truly anonymous and who reviews the reports. I guess the must be really pushing use of that tool n…

Because the CPO is gone. GitLabbers - don't trust the CLO. She told us not to talk to the CPO the week she left, which is very odd too and makes us think something went wrong.
