Let’s see what happens when, per the CEO, the other shoe drops “in the next few days”.

The article was https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/15/technology/kraken-crypto-... -- it was pretty milquetoast.

Far from the worst I’ve seen. But there’s a certain irony in regarding “SJW”s as being counter productive while authoring a 31 page manifesto on company culture and gun ownership(?!). It sounds like an exhausting workplace and frankly like the CEO does not have his eye on the ball.

This is exactly how I feel. I was heads down getting my work done, when suddenly the CEO plunges the entire company headlong into the culture war. It is counterproductive and bad leadership.

I agree. I think everyone in this thread needs to take a step back and stop being so prejudiced about some situation when no one in the public has the full story yet.
