Full time employment is rigged. For everyone. Tech workers are just now waking up to the reality that they are the same disposable peasants like all the rest. Seeing this kind of compensation and thinking .. oh well that guy must have done hell of a job must be some kind of delusion.

I doubt he voluntarily walked away…the only product he launched, the Coinbase NFT marketplace, flopped and the general crypto slump has also affected the company.

> “As our product leaders have taken on more responsibility, I've been able to consider taking a much-needed personal break to spend more time with my family. It has been a tough year for me personally — my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and my mother passed away unexpectedly. If I'm honest with myself, I don't think I've allowed myself time to grieve either yet,” he wrote in a recent LinkedIn post. h…

What a POS - we had to continue to work while caring for a family member with Alzheimer's, their death, and the death of another family member. I'm sure many of his reports had to continue to work though similar situations.

All I can say is, damn, props to him. Tricking the coinbase execs into giving him one of the highest paying packages for any product exec in history and delivering so little value in return is the kind of heist we should all aspire towards.

Indistinguishable from parody... What would be an example of a new product that will help the company thrive?

Coinswitch, a crypto-exchange in India is now pivoting to wealth management: > We have seven new non-crypto products in our 2023 roster, which includes fixed deposits, ETFs [exchange-traded funds], mutual funds, stocks, bonds and U.S. equities. > The goal is to be the one-stop wealth-tech destination for every Indian.

100% serious. If capital is planning on being this dumb, as labor I have no problem whatsoever relieving them of their monetary burdens.

I'm surprised anyone thinks this might not be intended seriously. It's a pretty common sentiment among the working class. Stole from the little people? You suck. Ripped off the owning class? Nice job, please do more of that.

This isn't stealing though. The owning class agreed to this.

Collapsing is a strong word, but their very tightly tied to whatever the crypto market is doing..which is not good at the moment.

eh. BTC is up 40% year to date. FTX may have been the bottom of this cycle.

YTD is like 25 days… what’s the TTM?
