Coinbase CEO Tweets ‘Quit And Find A Company You Believe In’ To Disgruntled Employees
After cryptocurrency platform Coinbase announced at the beginning of June it would not only extend its hiring pause but “rescind a number of accepted offers,” a public backlash erupted on social media sites, as people who had the rug pulled out from under them shared their tales of being jobless after excitedly anticipating a new position with the top-tier crypto platform. This action may have catalyzed an uprising among disenchanted Coinbase employees, who started an online petition to remove top executives, including chief operating officer Emilie Choi, chief product officer Surojit Chatterjee and chief people officer LJ Brock, “in a vote of no confidence.”
Rescinding Job Offers Should Prompt People To Seek Out Managers With High Levels Of Emotional Intelligence
Coinbase, the large cryptocurrency platform, has instituted a pause on hiring. These actions are in line with a host of other tech firms, as more than 17,000 U.S. workers in the tech sector have been laid off recently. The downsizing and hiring freezes are attributed to a confluence of events, including runaway inflation, supply chain disruptions, rising costs across the board and the continued war in Eastern Europe that may entrap the U.S. with further involvement. With regards to the tech sector, overly optimistic valuations of startups, without the profits to justify the market capitalizations, and major tech companies’ stock prices getting hammered instilled a chill in the marketplace.
