Third, they secretly deleted over a decade's worth of company chat history shortly before making the disastrous blog post. Why?
Fourth, they retaliated against employees by taking away benefits in the most humiliating way possible, via the aforementioned disastrous public blog post.
And yet, people are still going to bat for them because...I don't know. It seems like a lot of people have a religious faith in the decision-making capabilities of men like DHH and JF. Seems like it might be related to some of the issues employees tried to raise internally.
- dsnr 5y ago> Third, they secretly deleted over a decade's worth of company chat history shortly before making the disastrous blog post. Why? I can think of a reason. To protect employees who are not part of the woke mob from being “canceled” by the woke mob.
- MattRix 5y agoany time I find someone like you complaining about “getting cancelled” or “cancel culture”, I just replace “cancel” with “consequences”, since that’s what it really is. They wanted to protect employees from the consequences of their words and actions.

- dsnr 5y agoWould you please delete it? I shouldn't have replied in the first place.
- bob3k 5y agoSo, would you say the same thing about a person talking about abortion if the company culture was conservative? This goes well beyond 'consequences'. its being used as a weapon against people you disagree with or are just political enemies and the end result is thugs and bullies gaining power that didnt earn it and dont deserve it.

- throwawayy01 5y agoMcCarthy wasn't canceling them, he was simply holding them responsible so they could face the "consequences of their words and actions".

- MattRix 5y agoThere is no personal attack here, I am referring to anyone who uses “cancel culture” as a bad thing.
- dang 5y agoUsing the phrase "someone like you" in a negative way in an argument on a charged, divisive topic counts as crossing into personal attack. Please make your substantive points without that.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThere does not seem to be any evidence of this. If there is, please provide it.
