I think most people recognize that they don't necessarily agree with everyone, especially when it comes to politics, and that refusing to work with people because you dislike their politics is, in general, not a smart thing to do. Not to mention not supporting companies because one of their board members takes a position you dislike on an issue.
- drewrv 10y agoI'm happy to work with people whom I disagree with politically. But if you're concerned about privacy, giving all your files unencrypted to a company that is uninterested in your privacy (as demonstrated by their board) is just bonkers.
- new299 10y agoIn generally, absolutely. But it's quite clear that Rice's value to Dropbox is based around her background in politics. And in particular, her background in politics is one that is diametrically opposed to what Dropbox should be providing its users. A secure, private storage service.
- gurkendoktor 10y agoThere is a difference between disagreeing with positions and judging past actions. Rice didn't have fringe opinions that she occasionally ranted about on Facebook. The stuff on drop-dropbox.com was her full-time job, her life's work. > refusing to work with people because you dislike their politics is, in general, not a smart thing to do Like vaccinations, it can be effective when most people do it. I think (hope) many companies would have declined the chance to work with her.
