Coinbase Is Showing Workers With a Conscience the Door

CEO Brian Armstrong called social activism divisive and a distraction in a recent blog post, and the company is offering any "uncomfortable" workers an exit package.

lol

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange based in Silicon Valley, has announced that it will not engage with pressing social issues such as racial injustice and is offering exit packages to employees who disagree.

On Sunday, Coinbase CEO and co-founder Brian Armstrong published a meandering Medium post declaring that his “mission focused” company would ignore all issues outside of its goal to foster “an open financial system for the world.” The manifesto, which alludes to employee walkouts and included a now-deleted reference to the killing of Breonna Taylor by police, offers that the company will minimize attention on things like policy, non-profit work, "broader societal issues," and politics to the degree they are unrelated to its core goal.

You mean like a real business, rather than a business that has been transformed into a hard leftwing agitprop organization?

lol, SJWs. lol.

Go agitate for Transsexual Inclusion in Olympic Judo somewhere else.

In an internal company email leaked to Twitter and reported on by The Block, Armstrong took things a step further and said the company would be offering exit packages to employees who “don’t feel comfortable with the new direction” of the company.

The clear message: If you work for Coinbase and think the company should take a public stand at the most critical juncture for civil rights in a generation, you’re free to leave.

lol

i don't know about you guys but my hardon just sprouted smaller hardons, which then sprouted even smaller hardons of their own, and so on, and so on, each parent-dick sprouting two child-dicks like an exponentially increasing dick-hydra, until they made an infinite fractal mandala of my throbbing hard dicks all giggling "lol" until their little pink dick-cheeks turn beet red

Lefties have been purging people and pressuring companies to fire people who don't share their politics hard-core for five fucking years now -- what exactly is their complaint if people start blacklisting them in return?

They've spent five years launching McCarthyite witch-hunts and getting people banned from media or even from holding their job. You have normalized this tactic. You have no right to complain when we start the Thermodorean Purges.

Plus: Open Thread. And please post any stories that I should cover either today or tomorrow here.

The last couple of weeks, I've tried to get most of Friday's posts written Thursday night. Sure, I always have to write a few posts on Friday if news breaks, but I try to get a bunch of posts prewritten so I can knock off early.

Last week, you helped me manage that. I'm hoping you can help me out again.

Even though I got the posts done that I wanted to get done, and could have taken off most of the past two Fridays, I didn't take the day off, just because I didn't know what to do if I wasn't working. So I stayed at the keyboard just because I would feel weird being away from it.

I'm hoping to get most of Friday's work done tonight and then really take most of tomorrow off.

So, any news stories you have, especially stuff about general trends that will keep until tomorrow, please, post them here.
