>Which you replied to with a very apathetic and condescending

Well, he did say he felt offended that he wasn't included in the list.

>You should have used this as an opportunity to make your employees believe they made the right choice

Brian is doing that here. Except he is appealing to the employees that aligns with him and his choice of people for exec leadership. You seem to assume that a vast majority of the employee base agrees with the petitioner, and Brian seems to assume that a vast majority agrees with his PoV.

There are a lot of people that agree with the petitioner, but employees aren’t given an open forum to talk about internal problems. If you talk about things that are wrong too much with your manager, you get marked down for not being positive. There’s no “free speech” internally and it is a pretty oppressive environment in that it doesn’t feel safe to express yourself to anyone.

Was Coinbase the company that paid-off employees to leave when it implemented the "no politics at work" policy? I had my suspicions that this would result in chilling /suppression of dissent as "politics".

[rideontime]

nah that was DHH's company. I honestly forget what it was called. yo?

Coinbase followed suit and Brian heavily praised DHH for it on Twitter.
