people who are either triggered by trump but most people have decided that that's the side that is going to support liberty and peace the most do they admit it publicly of course not why would they be so foolish it's totally okay i i'm not going to judge people for making decisions about what they want to involve themselves in i just think it's really important that people speak publicly if it's a thing that we're afraid to speak about then everything gets worse i think it's inappropriately

It's an effective, practical solution. I introduced that years ago also, and we do not talk about politics in Intercom, and I never do that within the company either. For me, it's also important that Intercom never tells employees what to do in their personal lives. I'll never tell employees what they can or cannot say.

And if any employee is ever attacked for their political positions online, especially and particularly if they're positions that I disagree with, it's important that I demonstrate these principles in those moments. I will defend them. And it's important, I think, that the CEO exercises and demonstrates their alignment with these policies. And so similarly, I'm going to be myself.

No. I'm a really, really big believer in authenticity. Great leadership is all about being who you truly are. If you're completely open, honest and vulnerable, then people can... can opt in and out accordingly. Because of the values I instituted and the performance management processes I followed to curate a certain set of people in the company, we're now really resilient.

There was literally one person who left. And if you're not going to work with me because you're not willing to accept my individual beliefs and support my efforts to better humanity and find peace in the world, then we're not a good fit for each other. I've heard of no problems with customers. I've heard nothing from the board or investors.
