From Wikipedia:
In 2019, Powell suggested that parenting was a distraction to being productive and critiqued the economic viability of parental leaves; he went on to question whether choosing to not abide by relevant governmental regulations was a risk worth taking.[40] In June 2022, Powell urged employees in a work meeting to reject the usage of preferred gender pronouns; he then opened a Slack channel to debate whether people should be allowed to choose their gender but not their race or ethnicity.[7] The next day, Kraken released a “culture document” which outlined the libertarian values that it asserted were to be obeyed at work.[7] Among other things, employees were prohibited from labelling others’ comments as “toxic, hateful, racist”, etc., and particular emphasis was assigned on how “offensiveness” was not forbidden.[7] Powell and his fellow executives encouraged employees who disagreed with the policy to quit, and offered four months’ severance for those who opted to do so.
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 2 weeks ago:
The guy is such an asshole. I’d never apply to work there. He had a policy where he personally needs to approve of every single person hired there. He’s a micromanager, Elon wannabe douche. I have some crypto with Coinbase, but I will never add more to it. Eventually, some day I’ll pull it out. The problem is other companies in crypto are also run by raging assholes — Kraken for instance was founded by a total dickhead.
