First and foremost, we're sorry that you had this experience while at Datadog. We do not tolerate bullying and hope that all Datadogs take this to their People Business Partner should they encounter it. We will be sure this is passed along to the team and looked into.
As a fast scaling business, we are always conscious of the impact on our evolving culture from individuals who join and leave. There are times when that impact is greater than we anticipate, and we are working hard to make sure that that does not reflect poorly on the constructive and collaborative environment we aim to maintain. We will be addressing these issues internally with our leadership team to better understand where this is happening, and why. Our commitment to that constructive and collaborative environment is unchanged, and we will work to ensure our manager training and development is kept updated and relevant for our identified needs.
We understand that shifting to a hybrid model after two years of full-time remote work may be challenging for some. However, we do believe that a hybrid workplace experience is the best option to encourage the innovation and collaboration that happens in person. Should there be an extenuating circumstance, we highly encourage all to work with their Manager and People Business Partner to identify a workable solution.
We understand that mental health is serious and again, we encourage our employees to speak with their Manager and People Business Partner to discuss any concerns they may have. We also offer numerous benefits to support our employees' mental health and highly encourage employees to take advantage of the resources available, as well as simply taking time off to recharge. We certainly do not want anyone to be forfeiting their health and wellbeing and want to work with each Datadog to ensure all feel properly supported to do their best work.
Know that your feedback has been heard, and we will ensure these topics continue to be addressed so we can continue to improve, learn, and grow as an organization.
