Crypto Exchange CEO Calls Employees ‘Triggered,’ Bans Calling Things ‘Racist’ at Work
On Wednesday, major U.S.-based crypto exchange Kraken published a culture statement insisting it would continue to hire through the crypto downturn but only if applicants fit its new “crypto-first culture,” which means employees must “not call someone’s words toxic, hateful, racist, x-phobic, unhelpful, etc.,” and entails things like hiring based “strictly on merit” and not “a short checklist of obvious physical features.”
