> But what's an example of a political issue that would affect someone's work at Basecamp?

Let's say I work at Basecamp and believe that workers should be entitled to seats on Basecamp's board, just as they are in all large companies in Germany. Should I be punished for raising this?



This seems like something you would want to bring up with your boss / HR / higher-ups, instead of starting an open discussion/debate with the whole company, right?


“That seems like [a worker rights issue] that you would want to bring up with [the folks who usually don’t like the workers exercising their rights]” is how that sounds to me, when I read it.

Sure, yeah, you should bring it up with management, but bringing it up with your coworkers is essential to actually making a change happen.


No reason it couldn’t be both.
