Did all 60 people leave because of Coinbase's political stance, or did some leave because of the generous severance package of 4-6 months pay that the CEO offered in September?
I know that if I were looking to make a life change, I'd seriously consider that offer even if I liked the politics.
- adjkant 6y agoWe can only speculate on the numbers, but it can always be a both/and situation. This culture/environment itself can be part of the reason for wanting that life change. But forget number speculation, we have concrete proof of this in the article: > another employee who left in October was John Russ, the head of marketing and the company’s highest ranking Black employee, who had been hired three months earlier. > In a brief phone interview, Mr. Russ would only say that he disagreed with Mr. Armstrong’s new position and left as a result.
