“About one-third of Basecamp employees accepted buyouts today”
Interestingly the employees who left have the best career prospects.  Entire iOS team, head of marketing and head of product team.<p>The 6 months free money is hard for anyone entering a strong job market to pass up.<p>A lot of comments seem to think 1&#x2F;3 left because of the no politics policy.  1 &#x2F; 3 left because it would increase their wealth or give them the summer covid took away last year.<p>How many people would leave your job now for 6 months salary?  How many could get a job tomorrow if they did?<p>A few probably left because they want to change social policy.  Many are probably staying but still want to change social policy.  The head of marketing, products and the iOS team are not leaving because of social policy.
