Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans explore whether you can (and even should) separate politics from your workplace.

In the past two weeks, Basecamp-a software company with a general track record of outspoken, progressive values-has lost a sizable chunk of its workforce. The reason? A memo from the company's CEO that banned "societal and political discussions" in workplace channels.
In this episode, we break down what this all means-the (impossible) concept of "separating politics from work," and the privilege inherent in assuming that's possible.
