- ubercore 4y agoI do forget that time -- what's the context?

- dangwhy 4y ago> significant amount of the company quit. no they didn't
- mr_ndrsn 4y agoYes, they did. This is not a debatable fact. IIRC, it was 30%+ of the company.
- dangwhy 4y agoi am sure you will supply proof for your claims.

- dangwhy 4y ago> at least 20 people — more than one-third of Basecamp’s 57 employees — had announced their intention to accept buyouts from the company. Thanks for subjecting me to this crap article ( Which i presume you didn't bother to read.).
- jameshart 4y agoThe article seems to provide evidence for the claim that a dispute within the company over the messaging from leadership led to 1/3 of the staff leaving. I provided it without comment. Do you believe that a significant proportion of the staff did not quit? Do you have an alternative source that provides evidence for that version of events?
- dangwhy 4y agointention to leave = staff leaving ? then scarlett johanssen is my wife because i intend to marry her. > Do you have an alternative source that provides evidence for that version of events? Yes because people go around documenting evidence for things did not happen.
- jameshart 4y agoannounced their intention to leave... to the company... in response to the company making an open offer to people of terms for them to leave. That seems like a slightly different prior, in terms of our Bayesian assessment of the probability that those people remained employed at the company afterwards, than your hypothetical engagement to Ms Johannsen.
- dangwhy 4y ago> to the company Where did you get this though? > had announced their intention to accept buyouts from the company. Is it just people clicking 'yes' reaction to internal slack message ? This didn't sound like they were making any commitment ' to the company' . Also do you have any comment about the title of the article that you linked. Does that seem honest to you?
- mr_ndrsn 4y agoI was at the company when it happened. I'm currently at the company. I'm in ops and work on all of the mrsk/de-clouding efforts.
