Someday this will be a footnote in case studies on how to ruin a business. Bravo, you’re famous!
Let me guess without reading the article. He hit up on the crack pipe heavily? 8>)
Hope anyone reading this who has a connection to this vendor will do the same. Plenty of options in this space.
He’s an idiot for thinking we live in a democracy as well.
We fired them this morning.
Here’s a tweet from one of his competitors.

And for the record, it’s called a republic, not a democracy.
A democracy is 2 foxes and a hen voting on what to have for lunch.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco so…
Perhaps a CEO who would support a corrupt senile crazed career politician is a . . .
Looks like it will have to be reported to the FEC as a multi-million dollar political donation.
Thank God this scared little b!tch will never be responsible for defending anything of particular importance.
Publicity Whore!
Well, i apologize to prostitutes everywhere for this guy giving the word “whore” a worse meaning.
He doesn’t realize that if he had done that to Obama, his IRS audit would already be underway and any government and lefty orgs contracts would have been pulled.
Threat to Democracy? Like vote fraud, welfare for illegals, BLM and Antifa? Pay for play with China and Russia? ALL major Dems being linked to Chinese companies for access?
Corrupt FBI and CIA?
Social sites that censor and a fraudulent NPR and MSM?
Those threats? You stupid geek.
What an oaf.
Expensify’s Barrett goes through a mountain of side issues but, never spells out why President Trump is a threat to Democracy. If he thinks he is so courageous endorsing Biden, he is a weasel for not giving the specifics why he does.
There was so much “afraid” in his statement, that he only missed listing his own shadow!
Pathetic.
The email started with an idea posted in a Slack channel called #WhatsNext where employees can post a proposal (like endorsing Biden), a problem they’ve identified (”democracy unraveling rapidly in front of our very eyes and we depend upon that for a functioning business”) and a solution (encourage users to vote for Biden). From there, anyone can weigh in on the topic.
In cases where there’s a dispute over evidence-based claims, like whether Trump is actually suppressing voters, the discussion moves into a separate #Factcheck channel where people can argue their points with supporting links as evidence. If there’s ever a conflict, then the company turns to the Ad Fontes media study as a way to determine what’s the most ethical source on it.
A group of top-tier employees — Expensify’s equivalent of a Senate — then makes a call after weighing all of the different arguments presented on what the company’s official position will be. In this case, that group concluded that Trump is a threat to democracy and that the company’s policy would be to endorse Biden.
“The key to running a flat company is you have to have strong processes in place, so everyone just takes the emotion out of it,” Barrett said. “The company has to have some mechanism to make decisions, and those don’t necessarily reflect any individual person’s opinion.”
