Florida Bill May Negatively Affect 'Woke' College Majors
An entire one-third of employees at the software company Basecamp quit for one simple reason: their egos couldn’t handle being asked to please focus on their work and job at hand, instead of “wokeness” at work.
CEO Jason Fried wrote to employees on April 26, “we make project management, team communication, and email software. 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, r get behind one movement or another with time or treasure. These are all important topics, but they’re not our topics at work.”
Seems like a reasonable enough request. After all, a boss must ensure productivity continues. The Daily Wire reports:
Tech journalist Casey Newton said about one-third of the company’s roughly 60 employees took buyouts shortly after, with one fuming: “Basically the company has said, ‘well, your opinions don’t really matter — unless it’s directly related to business…’ A lot of people are gonna have a tough time living with that.”
Newton reported at Platformer that woke tensions boiled over after, in December, a new hire “volunteered to help the company work on diversity issues.”
With tensions rising, Fried said company changes would be made so there is “no forgetting what we do here.” Fried implemented “no more societal and political discussion” on company channels, saying it was a “major distraction” and “redirects our dialog towards dark places.”
On Twitter, one self-described “ex-basecamper” whose Twitter bio describes as “He/Him. ADHD. Software developer. Queer. High Maintenance” has been publicly tracking the exodus and fueling the flames. “Let’s keep track of the folks who are leaving @Basecamp and do what we can to find them a new home where they’re allowed to exist without being told they’re divisive” He/Him Breen posted on Twitter.
