Quite a few who left said the policy was the reason when they posted about leaving on Twitter.
- FFRefresh 6y agoThe social incentives are certainly aligned for that to be the case. A couple scenarios: 1) Employee A leaves Basecamp and says "I'm leaving for the severance package, not the policy change", and actually takes the severance 2) Employee B leaves Basecamp and says "I'm leaving because of the policy change, not the severance", but actually takes the severance package. Employee B will both get the social virtue points of standing up for something AND collecting on the nice severance package. Employee A may experience social blowback if they explicitly stated they weren't incensed by the policy change. I would expect to see more Employee B's than Employee A's publicly.
