Great tech, but a discriminatory company. I moved from there ti NC passwords.
The code is still open source. If you're self hosting you're not giving them any money. And they have a very comprehensive set of tools that are also open source.
For a company in the United States, having one employee make fun of other employees pronouns is just a HR nightmare. There's no winning. They would be in trouble if they didn't fire that guy, they'd be in trouble if they did. So that's just a catch-22 situation. Their biggest mistake was putting somebody with that personality into a leadership role
Ah yes, they fired a bigot. How dare they!
I'll see if I can find a password manager created by other small-minded bigots and let you know.
There is VaultWarden, which is an independent implementation of bitwarden server. It's easy to deploy and you got pro features normally locked in bitwarden paid subscription too.
I self host this and nextcloud both via Yunohost, makes both quite easy.
Are you talking about how they fired a transphobe, or about something else?
The fired persons logic is really weird. If pronouns are "given by god", why can't they just write the ones they think they were given? Really just sounds like an asshole to me and deserved to be fired (in my opinion, not legally speaking)
Yeah he was clearly itching for a fight. Saying that was definitely a provocation.
Wait, what's this about the company?

I assume the original poster is referring to this. Basically a VP at bit warden claim their pronouns were " assigned by God". Which is making fun of everybody else who is assigning their pronouns.
This puts the bit warden organization in a no-win situation. A HR nightmare really. If they punish this person for making fun of others they get in trouble. If they don't punish this person they also get in trouble.
A total catch 22. I think their biggest mistake was putting somebody in a leadership position who had a personality to do this. But as far as how they handled the situation after the fact they did as good as they could. I personally don't hold it against them. They had no good options either way.
Regardless of politics, you can't have internal employees making fun of other internal employees. That's just a bad work environment
Thanks for the context of this! I agree, they had no good options there.
