Whoever wrote this is an anonymous coward that was harassing employees from fake addresses and actively making up lies to sabotage the company for months. The person even made fake glassdoor reviews. It’s all half truths and bullshit. Is MariaDB perfect? Probably not, but they’re not about to go under. I mean the business writes all the code and keeps the foundation alive.
I just checked with some people I know over there and they can still slack Monty. He is still in their hr thing. Also, the old CFO wasn’t fired, he had to leave for some reason but still worked there for months after. They have a new CFO already. https://mariadb.com/newsroom/press-releases/mariadb-names-co...
Lawsuits are usually public and you can google it. There’s no crazy lawsuits like the person says. It’s just lies.
My wall street buddy told me the insurance stuff is standard practice when a company goes public. I think every public company has this. All the stuff about business risk is like standard boilerplate stuff. Every company is at risk if they don’t make profit or meet targets. Like wtf?
Even the stock price stuff - Look at the volumes, someone is screwing with them. Employees can’t sell yet anyway.
There’s accusations of "racism, sexism, and abuse" but like their youtube has women and a guy with a turban and a bunch of other races. There’s no lawsuits I could find either.
It’s like all taken out of context from SEC filings to make some sort of bullshit story.
Lemmy has grown exponentially in the last few months and I've found it to be an adequate replacement after learning the basics.
I was skeptical about reddit in 2008 and hesitated to leave digg.
