Basecamp Founders Are Right – Its Ok to Focus on What You Do and Cut the Noise

To me the strange thing is that they released this publicly. Okay, you're switching how you do 360 reviews, you're shutting down your DEI team, most companies wouldn't blog about these internal reorgs, they would just do it. It's not like the publicity seems all that great for them.

Wow, these are really good policies that are seemingly designed to get their focus back on the product, engineering and business of serving customers.

Why did Basecamp management say &quot;no politics at work&quot;? Well, <i>coincidentally</i>, a full <i>one-third</i> of Basecamp employees wanted to join the Diversity&#x2F;Equity&#x2F;Inclusion council. DEI appears to be precisely the politics DHH and Jason don&#x27;t want Basecamp to think about.<p>Twitter thread: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Rahsfan&#x2F;status&#x2F;1387042197321633792" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Rahsfan&#x2F;status&#x2F;1387042197321633792</a>
