It could also be a sign that people feel more empowered to express themselves in work and feel that a workplace that values their ideals is preferable to one that doesn't. Particularly in tech where we're all quite comfortably off we can worry about these things higher up the hierarchy of needs.
It will be interesting to see where this takes the culture of Coinbase.
- rjkennedy98 6y ago> It could also be a sign that people feel more empowered to express themselves in work The cynic in me feels like it's a casual way for engineers to feel better about themselves. It's no wonder to me that this "bring your whole self to work" nonsense sprung up at ad-tech companies like Google. And by the way - the political stuff never is about anything that Google does. I haven't seen any tax law, anti-trust, or privacy protests at Google.

- Apocryphon 6y agoIf you're going to talk zeitgeists, it could also be millenarianism, as the belief that the old order is dwindling and about to blow away and must be replaced with something better, the belief in a reckoning, is far from exclusive to either side of the political spectrum but instead is present everywhere.
