Iām the worst. I think Iād enjoy it if Basecamp went bankrupt over this
@crossingthethreshold š¤·āāļø this stuff happens all the time. Theyāll find someone else go give them something similar
@hjertnes In 3 months no one will remember what everyone got so worked up about. Or that they were worked up at all. Except for maybe the knee-jerkers who quit in a huff and now work somewhere they actually have good reason to dislike. (This is my working theory, anyway :) ).
@jack I agree with you Jack. I havenāt read too much on the matter, but Iāve seen the noise in various places. I have a personal policy of avoiding talking politics on official work channels, mostly because I disagree with a lot of the āwokeā stances and Iāve had enough of being called names in response to things.
@ricky thanks for proving my point. You know nothing about me and the first thing you do is call me a name.
@ricky ok, itās not a name but you donāt know Iām privileged. Iām not special, I donāt get special rights or advantages.
@ricky Iām a Christian, I am witnessing many people who share my beliefs be taken to court for standing up for their beliefs. Thatās not privilege.
@ricky @philbowell Just a reminder to keep things civil. It looks like this debate has gotten personal and way off from the original topic.
@philbowell are they blessing those who persecute them? Giving away their undies when sued for their coat?
@JMaxB why itās all so alarming is that from the outside Basecamp/Hey have looked a pinnacle of being counter-culturally a workplace thatās not a slog/grind and is supportive of their employees being whole persons who have lives outside of work. Theyāve written multiple good books on it, even, and created tools that help have better human interactions.
Theyāve betrayed a lot of their own published advice (like: donāt make policies based on an incident, handle the problem instead and donāt let it be a pattern that needs a rule) in how they handled recent events in their company.
