I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

    The company has long defined its values with the acronym “GRIT,” which used to stand for “Gratitude, Responsibility, Inclusion, and Transparency.” After May 4, it changed the acronym to stand for “Gratitude, Responsibility, Innovation, and Trust.”

    It’s not as bad as the headline seems. Transparency is still in the motto. The actual change is:

    before

    after

    But still. Why change it at all? Why replace “inclusion” with “innovation”?

    It smells like Tech Bro.

    There’s just no way to spin that positively, even giving them the benefit of the doubt, especially since they aren’t rolling it back. Someone spent effort to make that values change, so its not an accident nor a “nothingburger”.

      I don’t need my password manager to innovate anything. I would very much like it to include support for all of my tools and machines though.

      Ty. So many comments here didn’t see your post and others did but didn’t read it. My take is innovation is a greater priority, and trust protocols. I’ll watch but I’ll wait for it to be a something burger.

      Because the “inclusive” part is already described by the first letter’s “story”?
