The CEO of Kraken, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, has offered his employees four months of severance pay to quit if they are ‘triggered’ by new policies cracking down on culture-war debates in the workplace.
CEO Jesse Powell, 41, issued the company’s new culture guidelines in a memo on Wednesday, warning employees to stop calling each other ‘toxic’ or ‘racist’ and saying ‘being offended doesn’t necessarily make you right.’
On Twitter, Powell said that the new guidelines were prompted by a handful of employees sparking ‘heated debates’ over issues such as diversity, pronouns and ‘being ‘harmed’ by ‘violent’ words.’
