so far they've lost their entire iOS team, head of design, head of marketing lmfao someone started a DEI committee at basecamp before the original post of "DHH and jason are in charge, no politics, deal with it" (and had like a third of the employees commit to joining), that DEI committee was told to wind down

More than a decade later, current employees were so mortified by the practice that none of them would give me a single example of a name on the list. One invoked the sorts of names Bart Simpson used to use when prank calling Moe the Bartender: Amanda Hugginkiss, Seymour Butz, Mike Rotch.

qirex posted:when "don't talk about politics" also means "I'm immediately dissolving all DEI initiatives and handing them off to our one hr person" the word 'talk' is doing a lot of heavy lifting yeah it goes something like "dhh maybe it wasn't cool of us as a company culture to post funny names, look here's the pyramid of hate to explain how those behaviors have knock on effects when it comes to further down the line" "you're dumb, are we (basecamp) actively committing genocide because of the funny name thread? no we're not, so your pyramid is dumb and useless shut up. two, i just searched basecamp internal history and you added a name to that list so you are a hypocrite and i shouldn't take anything you say seriously. also your DEI committee that was about to have its first steering meeting? disbanded" like he had every opportunity to not gently caress that up, and instead just techbro'd his way into imploding the company
