“I jumped on this call on Saturday and there were a couple people that had not done it. Some of them had a good reason, because they were just getting back from some trip or something, and some of them didn’t [have a good reason]. And they got fired.”
Culturally it may be cool right now to fire people and be a fearsome boss, but let's be real: it's a failure of leadership if it goes like this. It was very clear already that Coinbase has serious organizational problems, evidenced by an insider data leak and an error in hiring policy needing to be corrected.
Time for Armstrong to leave and for Coinbase to get a real CEO that knows how to run an organization?

I agree. It was a bullshit and non-professional act at all. Overall, I don't give a shit since the Coinbase is a big scam and it's not important at all.

I know reverse companies reject employees for using AI while coding.
