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.
I have to read all of it again more thoroughly but i got to number 2 and 3 and started cheering wildly!! Now if only I wasn’t nearly retired..lol.
I’ve even taught drafting and AutoCAD in a University for a couple years and on day 1 I would tell my students that I am conservative. It may come out at times, if they have a problem with anything I say to let me know and we can talk. I was never worried about it. Ever.
>>Nonetheless, this is a really nice sign.
Yes it is!
A result of hiring from the Ivies?
Hasn’t been a good place to hire undergrads from for a couple decades.
Jordan Peterson talks a lot about the hierarchal nature of the world, it is baked into basic biology. If these snowflakes think they can ignore that, they’ve got another thing coming.
Not necessarily. They come from all over. It started after 9/11 under the proposition that diversity was a strength, and Congress pumped a lot of money to hire within the IC.
Diversity is an HR strategy that ensures mediocrity.
For example, the 2017 DIA employee of the year was a guy in a dress. He got it because of the single accomplishment of deploying to Afghanistan, a pretty low bar.
That is when I knew the days of the USA were numbered, so I left the following year.
How many of these SJW workers refused to even clean their own bedrooms?
