https://medium.com/media/1a00439f45ef2b4bbc6a495b23359ad8/href Business rhetoric is rife with the language of war — there’s constant talk of conquering markets and dominating the competition. These tropes indicate a dangerous way of thinking that can have real consequences, intended or not, on human behavior. In this episode of the Rework podcast , two professors share their research on the impact of violent rhetoric on business ethics, and a member of Basecamp’s Support team talks about communication techniques that get us out of the mentality that everything is a zero-sum game. https://medium.com/media/d331195bd93726f902cd407d4623e2bd/href Happy Pacifists was originally published in Signal v.

They want to be perceived as sophisticated, as having it all figured out. This is where they begin to get into trouble.

Update on Basecamp 3 being stuck in read-only as of Nov 8, 12:41pm CST Basecamp 3 is now back online for reading and writing. All data was confirmed to be fully safe and intact. No emails that were sent to Basecamp during the outage were dropped. We may still have some backlogs on processing things like incoming emails, and you may still see some slowdowns here and there as we catch up. But we are back, and we are safe.
