Kraken Announces Global Hiring Push amid other Crypto Layoffs
It looks like Kraken is one of a few of a small number of crypto companies that are committing to not lay off and to keep hiring. https://blog.kraken.com/post/14372/kraken-announces-global-hiring-push-and-commitment-to-crypto-first-culture/ Twitter thread from the CEO that gives some more details about their "jetski" program which apparently is only to weed out people who don't want to accept the kraken culture. https://mobile.twitter.com/jespow/status/1536978821345292288 Will be interesting to see what's in the media "hit piece" that prompted Kraken getting ahead of this.

True, but the market was still hot in February. Coming out and committing to hiring in a bad market is a stronger statement, imo.
He’s spewing bullshit and you’re eating it up. He’s hiding layoffs behind “SJW removal”
