This story is so strange. First of all, it has been considered unprofessional to talk about politics at work for as long as I can remember. It's odd how you would need a rule implemented about that.
Is this just a generational thing?
On the other hand, when did racial equality become an inherently political topic? Especially racial equality inside the workplace.
This also doesn't mean that the Basecamp founders are responsible for systemic racism because they had a list of "funny" names and [gasp] employ at least one conservative.
What has happened to everyone? It's like we have taken the social media rage machine and applied it to real life interactions.
