In a Wednesday report detailing internal cultural turmoil at the company, the publication cited interviews with Kraken employees who recounted "hurtful" comments around preferred pronouns and demeaning statements toward women, among other incendiary remarks, made by CEO Jesse Powell.

the program, called "Jet Ski," designed to incentivize employees to leave if they don't believe in Kraken's crypto-typical libertarian principles, the Times reported.

I guess these companies are getting tired of paying woke snowflakes to undermine their companies with distractions of political correctness.

So, these Kraken employees are being released. Now I know what Sydney Powell was talking about.

[null and void]

Money well spent.

[Vigilanteman]

I’d give them a week’s pay to check out now, reduced by a day for every day they wait.

Yes, I guess that's one way to look at it :)

wokeness is a cultural cancer.

[GreenHornet]

Why offer them a dime? Why not just say: “The door’s over there - use it anytime you want.”

Musk... Kraken... perhaps the tide is turning.

I’d love to know what his “demeaning statements toward women” were.

Pointing at a tranny and saying: “You’re not a woman. You’re a man.”

Or telling women “If you want to be paid the same as a man, produce the same as a man.”

[maddog55]

That’s 5 months two much.

They should leave and reimburse the company for being idiots.

One can hope.

Good for them. The woke employees are the worst employees demanding far more attention and resources than they contribute and always trying to bully others into compliance or silence.

This is great. AS the article said 20 employees are making life miserable for the other 3180 contented workers...

These kids get poisoned in K-12 and then bring it to their workplace. Woke corporations bend, but these cutting edge corporate leaders aren't taking it, it's refreshing.

It's kinda like the world we live in. A few hundred thousand lunatic wokesters are destroying our society and culture and economy.

[dennisw]

I would give them one month’s pay in cash and a boot in the azz as they go out the door.

[Rusty0604]

Lol

Powell’s Kraken culture manifesto includes a section entitled “we don’t forbid offensiveness,” stresses the importance of having a “tolerance for diverse thinking,” and said “law-abiding citizens should be able to arm themselves,” according to the Times.

Sounds sensible enough.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Absolutely right. I constantly marvel at how such a few committed zealots can ruin and end fossil fuels, marriage, common sense, history, women’s sports, freedom & liberty, and man’s most magnificent achievement - Western Civilization. They are all destroyers. They have no plans for their post-apocalyptic world.

With what has been happening to crypto and crypto companies in the past 6 months, it might be worth it to feign wokeness and take the cash.
