71. Basecamp and politics in the workplace - a podcast by The Ready

In the past two weeks, Basecamp—a software company with a general track record of outspoken, progressive values—has lost a sizable chunk of its workforce. The reason? A memo from the company's CEO that banned "societal and political discussions" in workplace channels.
In this episode, we break down what this all means—the (impossible) concept of "separating politics from work," and the privilege inherent in assuming that's possible.Apply to work at The Ready:
