How hard is it to understand that people do not want to be tracked? How many times do we have to say it before they understand? Should we paraphrase it for them? Explain it like they're five?
I don't want to pick on you, but this is the second post in which you seem to imply the overall situation is better than what I see. "Let those companies die" seems to imply they're a minority, whereas from what I can tell, 99% of companies do just what that CFO is suggesting. How can we possibly expect the deaths of all of them?
employees are not married to their company. when I talk about them I talk about those who are in control of the company. those who are left behind can look for another and better opportunity. which is better than continuing in a toxic environment anyway.
glad we are in the IT business, where finding another job is pretty easy. this does probably not apply to other sectors.

That's what I'm wondering: what you call a toxic environment seems rather common in my experience. The execs make the decisions, and the developers are lucky if they even get to know what was decided. So while they can certainly look, I find it weird to be confident that they will actually find somewhere better. Gitlab just seems to be reverting to the average.
