I agree with you on that front.

In earlier versions of the deck, we actually explicitly called out that we are NOT a family. We are a team with a common goal. You don't get to choose your family, but you do get to choose your team.

h/t to Netflix for that original "team not a family".

Why did you remove that call-out?
Candidly, this year, because of the pandemic, we've come closer together as a group. Not quite a family -- but closer. Also, I needed to make room in the deck to articulate our position on diversity and inclusion.
>articulate our position on diversity and inclusion

I wonder what that position could be! Must be some revolutionarily fresh take on diversity™ and inclusion™ that no other tech company had espoused before.

This is satire, right?

I know of at least one customer that you're going to loose as a result of this tone deaf PR, and based on your responses in this thread am hoping that you loose a lot more.
> we've come closer together as a group

Why are you confident that this feeling is shared by your employees?
