So if an employee has an active Twitter account where they regularly post overtly racist content, these are companies that will promise to keep them employed, regardless of, for example, complaints from other employees who are people of color?<p>Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. Also, who wants to work for a company that is essentially reaching out to hire more racists?
The implication that being explicitly anti-cancel-culture is an apolitical stance is somewhat amazing.<p>This seems to be pretty obviously courting people with a particular political lean, not simply people who don't want to talk about politics.
> We envision a world beyond cancel culture, where employees are free to work... without fear that they will find themselves on the wrong side of their employer’s politics.<p>> That’s it. No agendas, politics, or drama. Just work. Interested? Let’s create that world together.<p>One of these things is not like the other...
This is actually really useful for screening out a potentially toxic workplace.<p>While the idea of being “pro-freespeech” I agree with, in practice the people I've encountered who frequently express sentiments like what's featured on their page are uncomfortable to be around or discuss most anything that's not specifically work related with.
Out of curiosity, would Coinbase be allowed to post jobs on this site? Their policy as I understand it is “no political discussions at work,” which seems like it’s not a free speech stance.
Ironically the top job posting:<p>"Applicants must be conservative and must have a desire to support and defend US Constitutional rights."<p>Its a reasonable requirement for a campaign worker, but what is this doing on this "free-speech" board?
I don't even understand what they are doing here. Do they vet companies? Is there anything about this job board that actually promotes free speech, or is it just another job board with some branding?
Unless you go and get yourself indicted for a crime, what you do outside the workplace should be none of your employer's business. Even if your biggest hobby is shitposting on Twitter and getting other people butthurt because somebody was mean to them on the internet.
Is this a job board for conservative developers?<p>It's becoming exhausting being a non-US netizen. It takes effort to constantly be vigilant and switch context and detect US political double speak.<p>I am really not sure I am doing this right and I am tired...
I imagine it's a sample size thing, but if this board is any indication of the market expect to make less than $20 a hour if you hold non majority opinions and want to publicly voice them. If represenative, it may be that the blue collar world is a lot more tolerant of dissenting opinions in a strange reversal of fortune from a few decades ago where it seemed the other way around.
Glad to see this. If nothing else, it's worth it if you want to hedge against a certain kind of situation that we see articles about here every week.<p>At this point in the culture war, I'd probably rather work for a small Christian company than some of the BigTech corps, all other things being equal. And I'm an atheist. Never thought I'd say something like that, but here we are.
"Free speech" is dogwhistle for fash. Americans haven't yet understood something that Europeans have practically internalized: when it comes to speech, the privileged are inherently much louder than the marginalized; therefore, greater restriction of their speech is legitimate. The conceptualization of the First Amendment that orevails today ever since <i>Brandenburg v. Ohio</i> in 1969 basically gives license to the right to foment hate.<p>And so here we are: a job board to help the far right dodge consequences for their hate speech.
There are, nonexclusively, three major things required for a democracy to function in a heterogenous society:<p>- A secular, pluralistic public forum,<p>- A professional respect for the opposition, and<p>- The ability to disagree in one area without affecting other areas of a relationship.<p>Right now this comment section is failing on all three, and proving why, despite whatever one's personal views are, job boards like this are necessary to prevent the destruction of the respectful opposition that allows democracy to thrive.<p>Just remember, when clamoring for censorship and destroying someone's career because of their beliefs, that every weapon we create can be used against us.<p>Turnabout is fair play, as they say. Today it's ostensibly truth beating hoax when the left is suppressing anti-scientific fringe views about pandemics or climate change, but yesterday it was also ostensibly truth beating lies when the right was suppressing gay rights, and tomorrow the pendulum can swing somewhere completely unexpected once again.<p>So let's all be more tolerant of one another, because reasoned, respectful disagreement is the fundamental force that allows democracy to exist.
