Love to see it.

Execs often hold too much power in tech companies, and I’ve worked enough to see how condescending they can be to people even just 1-2 levels below them.

If the choice is between many the of employees that are actually building the company and a few bad execs, it seems easy to me.

Sure they have valid points but I am more sure that if the price of Bitcoin and other major cryptos kept moving on up this would not be a thing.

This is the key problem with crypto only exchanges.

At some point (probably further down in share price) they will become a target for existing exchanges looking to diversify - ICE, CME

“Signatures will be done in a way that is fair and transparent, as well as respecting the anonymity and privacy of each individual employee.”

What are some ideas for how to do this? Maybe start with the assumption that each employee has an ECC key signed by a corporate certificate authority.

Initiatives like the Dot Collector and the Performance review system that has led to a toxic workplace culture

I was curious about that "Dot Collector":

Dot collector was an application invented by Ray Dalio’s hedge fund and Bridgewater Associates. The application has set its foot in Coinbase since the start of the year and has been in use by the HR and IT teams of the company. The user interface of the app is quite simple and efficient. It asks the user to rate the coworker or the manager on how well they demonstrate the 10 crore Values at coinbase. The values are not only limited to things like communications, but also include values like positive energy. The information about the co-worker can be shared by either giving a thumbs up or by giving a thumbs down. There is an option of giving neutral feedback for the co-workers in the application.

Sounds like hell.
