Why Coinbase will struggle to ban politics from the workplace - The Verge

Pinboard (datasociety) 2020-10-03

Summary:

There's a debate among rarified tech workers happening right now that prompted a reaction article in the verge. I wanted to highlight this particular passage because it's hitting home with some tech folks: "This is particularly true because the US government has become staggeringly unresponsive to its citizenry โ€” unable to provide for their basic safety and economic security during a historic crisis. Meanwhile, corporations โ€” particularly big US tech corporations โ€” tend to be very responsive to their workforces, courting their feedback regularly and using it to improve the operations of the company. And so the worse that the government performs, the more that workers ask of their employers." // (cc <@U0DKFDDGE>)
