RLLD 3,368 Posted June 17, 2022 Crypto giant Kraken offers 4 months' pay for employees who don't agree with its libertarian principles to leave Quote Kraken's CEO is offering four months' pay for employees who don't agree with his values to leave. The program is dubbed "Jet Ski," and employees have until June 20 to take part, the New York Times reported. "We want it to feel like you are hopping on a jet ski and heading happily to your next adventure!" read a memo about the project. Kraken, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, will pay employees four months' worth of wages to leave if they disagree with its values, according to The New York Times. The times did a hit piece on the CEO, of course, no challenge to the left is allowed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,803 Posted June 17, 2022 Terrible article. I have no idea what the CEO supposedly did based on it and can’t decide whether these are just hypersensitive employees or if the workplace there is legit toxic. All I know now is that this Powell guy looks exactly like the type of dbag I’d expect to be CEO of a crypto currency company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,069 Posted June 17, 2022 The company has 3200 employees and 20 took the money, so 0.63%. I'm ok with this. He essentially got rid of the overly woke/snowflakes and didn't even hurt the company. My guess is that the other 3180 employees are glad to see those 20 leave. Looks like a great boss to work for. Instead of having overly sensitive crybabies, he listened to the other 99% of his company and paved a way to remove the problem. I don't see what the problem is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 1,744 Posted June 22, 2022 “Feel like you’re getting on a jet ski” is definitely douchey, but I don’t see a problem with this. Wouldn’t doubt some non-woke employees probably took the offer too though and just got a different job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,076 Posted June 22, 2022 A lot of people involved in crypto are alt-right, me being one of them. No one will give a damn. Kraken is a sh!t exchange but at least the CEO is halfway based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
