And now my opinion has soured on Proton and I am a paying client.

This seems like a shitty way to approach this. Would love to hear from Proton on this.

Yeah ok. Time for me to go find a new home for my email.

The actual Proton job interview (probably): "No, candidate, you are not allowed to use AI during the interview.".

I know you people here don't like to hear this. Proton makes this process very open. Other companies are doing silent layoffs by calling employees back to office, granting generous buyout packages for leaving the company or offering retraining and removing them from their previous roles (while granting those few they want to keep every wish).
