You might’ve noticed the EU and Latvian flags in our recent brochures. Over 50% of our products are already made in the EU — and that number’s growing.
We’re bringing production closer to home to ensure quality, supply chain security, and transparency.
It’s not just a label. It’s a promise. 🇱🇻🇪🇺
@mikrotik I was just discussing with a few people that I switched from Netgear (US) to Mikrotik (EU) for my own and business purposes.
I had one doubt though, which is that Latvia isn’t directly known for it’s acceptance of LGBTQIA+. I know a lot has improved on that front in the past decade, but there still is widespread discrimination, and LGBTQIA+ people still don’t enjoy the same rights and protections the general populace have.
Where does MikroTik stand on this? What’s the culture like at MikroTik? Is it safe to be LGBTQIA+ for your employees?
@gmc @mikrotik@mikrotik.social @mikrotik@lemmy.world Indeed, curious to that as well.
@AngelaScholder @gmc @mikrotik@lemmy.world The IT world tends to be more open-minded—people care more about skills than labels, and that spirit lives at MikroTik too. While the general public has been slower to change, things are moving forward. The 2024 Partnership Law now recognizes same-sex and opposite-sex couples, marking real progress.
There’s still a journey ahead, but the legal and cultural climate is improving for LGBTQIA+. We’re 100% confident in further positive developments in EU and Latvia.
@AngelaScholder @mikrotik Thanks for replying! I’ve been using your routers and modems, but only recently found out you have a very interesting line of switches as well. Keep up the good work :)
