@baldur I definitely agree about the bad management part. I just don't see enough evidence that Singer is in fact some kind of right-wing extremist. I started following him after Shape Up, and a lot of his writing is quite obtuse and hard to understand, so my assumption is that he was misunderstood.

So if through a series of misunderstandings, a lot of people start believing their colleague is a right-wing extremist, but you're sure he's not, what should you do as a manager?

@baldur The other part is that the 30% who left got six months of no-string-attached severance. I'm not sure I've had a job yet that I wouldn't have left if offered those conditions.

@brecht Yeah. Given the tone I hear from some of the people who left on Twitter (like Sam Stephenson, if I remember his name correctly) that definitely isn’t the reason. Months later and most of them still seem very angry about how they were treated.
