I understand why Basecamp have made the decisions they have on this.
As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I would be frankly terrified of hiring a woke SJW who wanted our business and all of our employees to become wholly dedicated to solving their pet causes.
Solving large scale societal injustice would be great, but it’s a long way down my list of priorities when logging on in the morning.
It’s even worse with the ever present threat they would then breach NDAs and bring the raging Twitter mob to the door when they don’t get their own way.
There are a million injustices in the world, but engaging and supporting them should be a personal decision. Keep that stuff away from the office.
