Editor's Notes

"No more societal and political discussions on our company Basecamp account."

 
With that, and many other changes, Basecamp issued the culture memo heard around the tech world on Monday. The company's move to ban political talk on its platform stakes out a clear position following a year in which work and societal changes converged like never before, and companies took stances to match it. This move is generating plenty of debate. 
 
What do you think? Do work and politics mix at your company workspace? Tell us with a reply here or tobaltimore@technical.ly.
