Google had this for a long time, also Facebook and also Microsoft I believe- especially after it became a GDPR requirement most companies just rolled it out worldwide. Bloomberg's quality of research is going down a bit recently.

Apple had this in the EU since May~ish. It's now available in the US though.

I am curious (seriously, not sarcastic), which of these 4 companies has rolled this out worldwide? Surely Apple will never be able to roll this out in China?

Well for now, Google has no China presence.

Google Takeout has been available everywhere for years. June 2011 according to this.

Google has had "Google Takeout" for a fairly long time I think (I heard it started as someone's 20% project a long time ago but is a legitimate team there now but that's just hearsay)

It would be cool if someone could figure out how to crawl LinkedIn to parse org charts... I bet you could do that to solve problems like this. Only question is whether the participation rate in LinkedIn for that workplace is high enough

I don't think LinkedIn has information as to whom someone reports to. It could somewhat be inferred by looking at the connection graph, but would be ridiculously noisy (for example I have connections to managers and directors I have never reported to).

I'm not too surprised after recent debacles.. Trust, but verify I suppose.
