Coinbase offers exit package for employees not comfortable with its mission

In the blog post in which he explained Coinbase's mission, he specifically mentioned that:

> Of course, employees should always feel free to advocate around issues of pay, conditions of employment, or violations of law, for instance.

Now, if he really is trying to diminsh the possibility of that happening, I don't know.

For what it's worth, Coinbase must "allow" those discussions by law in the US. In my mind, that's the kind of thing you say in a staement like this to protect yourself from a lawsuit.

I doubt Coinbase thinks employees advocating around pay/conditions are desirable for the company.

I'm not from the US, so thanks for pointing that out.

I feel most companies think that this isn't desirable. However, as long as the complaints, and the complainers, are treated fairly, that's fine by me.

"employees should always feel free to advocate around ... violations of law"

So generous of him, he could have run it like a drug cartel.

Yeah, he would've been better off ending the sentence before that statement.
