1/3rd of Basecamp Employees Quit After Founders Ask Them To Focus On Work, Not Wokeness

"The invocation of 'genocide' made rational discussion impossible"
Long story short, they're all claiming victimhood now because their employer basically told them "we're not paying you to be an activist".
The management was overly generous. They SHOULD have been told to...

About one-third of employees at software company Basecamp quit days after bosses told them to keep ideology out of the workplace and focus on the company’s actual business.
“We make project management, team communication, and email software,” CEO Jason Fried wrote April 26. We don’t have to solve deep social problems, chime in publicly whenever the world requests our opinion on the major issues of the day, or get behind one movement or another with time or treasure. These are all important topics, but they’re not our topics at work.”
...
When one employee continued to push this line of logic, Hansson pointed out that that employee, himself, had participated in discussions making fun of customers’ names. “You are the person you are complaining about,” he thought, Newton reported.
Soon after, Fried, who along with Hansson has long been recognized as an expert on cultivating productive workplace culture, said the company was making changes to make sure there was “no forgetting what we do here.”
There would be “no more societal and political discussions” on official company channels, he said, calling it “a major distraction. It saps our energy, and redirects our dialog towards dark places.”

I work for a Fortune 50 company with a $250 billion market cap....I wish they would think more like this ^^^^ company but they’re too worried about being selected as JD Powers most diverse and woke failing corporation.

Wow, they got all the idiots to leave without having to pay any unemployment.

I've actually been looking for a project management solution for household/family project management.
Looking hard at Basecamp now.

I wonder if they’re hiring. Sounds like a wonderful company to work for.

Wonderful way to rid your company workforce of useless, incompetent people.

It wasn't on the first page when I posted it, because I looked first. It was probably briefly knocked off.

Watch now when the remaining 2/3s proves way more productive than the prior 3/3s.
