  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.

  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.
