SJW's flee, good riddance

Interesting discussion on Slashdot. Apparently the bosses in charge at a project management company, Basecamp, decided that the never ending political “discussion” (aka ranting, proselytizing, whining, virtue signaling, harassment, etc.) on company time and across company assets (e.g., eMails, etc.) were too much. So, it is forbidden. Read the letter to employees. Surprisingly, the reaction at Slashdot (https://politics.slashdot.org/story/21/04/30/2114254/basecamp-sees-mass-employee-exodus-after-ceo-bans-political-discussions ) is almost 100% supportive. Many such topics bring out the SJWarriors, who seem to have been the problem at Basecamp. But, not this time. Instead, the condemnation of the SJW’s is in quite severe terms. Seems that there is a lot of support for a purge of the hate-mongers at companies. And purge is right. 30% of employees immediately said they were leaving. Might be simply more virtue signaling: “Look at how brave I am, I’m walking away from a job…..Uhh, what just happened?”. Nonetheless, this is a really nice sign.

Too little, too late.

“Good to know.”

The choice is simple.
1) Resist
2) Be a slave.

I’d bet that when 30% said they were going to leave, the other 70% said “good riddance”.

Good news, get rid of the social justice warriors and their bias and bigotry. The whole IT industry will be better for it. Maybe they’ll take their H1B colleagues with them. Maybe, as well, they’ll realize how their H1B colleagues and Indian recruiters will lock them out of future jobs. Let’s see how woke they are.

How can I work for this company?

They even swore off welfare benefits for employees!

There may be a cultural shift coming as SJW’s are increasingly seen for the busy bodies, hypocrites, and cult zealots that they are.

The good knock-on effect of this is the loss of losers and troublemakers.

The resistance to SJW life will continue to grow.

I always found them to be the least talented in the workforce. They bring nothing to the table except problems. They have no depth of experience.

The intelligence community if filled with them.

Hehe, I’m curious what those “mental health issues hairstyles” look like.
