📄 Complaint Policy

ReadMe has an open-door policy, so employees are encouraged to report work-related concerns. If something about your job is bothering you, or if you have a question, concern, idea, or problem related to your work, please discuss it with your manager or the CEO. If for any reason you don’t feel comfortable discussing it with them, you may contact ReadMe’s lawyer, Colin Chapman ([email protected]) of Gunderson Dettmer.

Any employee who witnesses or is subject to inappropriate conduct in the workplace can report it to the CEO. We encourage employees to come forward with any workplace complaint, even if it's not about something that's explicitly covered in our written policies.

With the employee's permission, we will conduct a complete and impartial investigation, which may involve an outside investigator in serious cases. All complaints will be handled as confidentially as possible. When the investigation is complete, the company will take corrective action if appropriate.

We will not engage in or allow retaliation against any employee who makes a good faith complaint or participates in an investigation. If you believe that you are being subjected to any kind of negative treatment because you made or were questioned about a complaint, report the conduct immediately to the CEO.

At this time, ReadMe is too small to have an internal group or department that can independently respond to complaints. Where appropriate, we will engage a third party to conduct a thorough investigation and recommend corrective action, where necessary.
