Jesse Powell, CEO for Kraken, laid out a mission statement that clarified what “Krakenites” should use to guide their working actions. Kraken did not start with a bunch of employees embracing “wokeness”. However, during the crypto boom, many employees were taken on board who had such philosophy. He offered woke employees severance pay to leave the organization to aid with his efforts to redirect the organizational culture towards meeting Kraken’s objectives.<\/p>\n

Kraken CEO Jesse Powell told host Ainsley Earhardt he wanted to restore his company’s culture and avoid distractions, adding some employees felt it was better if they “just moved on.”<\/p>\n

“There was a huge amount of support for this move, huge amount of support for the company’s culture and mission and the reinforcement of those. And, I think everyone’s just ready to get back to work and stop being distracted,” said Powell, adding a small number of employees were “creating distractions for the whole company.”<\/p>\n

Powell went on to clarify that his company had not been polluted with “anti-woke” culture for an entire decade, and it was not until the crypto boom that staff was hired who did not align with their original mission. He said about 30 employees took the offer of four months severance out of more than 3,000 staff members.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got people from more than 70 countries in the company, that speak more than 50 languages. We’re incredibly diverse in many ways. I think that the problem that some people have is this diversity of thought,” said Powell.<\/p>\n

Powell published a restored mission statement, so his employees have a clear idea of the culture he wants to instate in his company.<\/p>\n

“If nobody is ever offended, we either don\u2019t have enough diversity of thought or we don\u2019t have enough transparency in communication. We recognize that hurt feelings are inevitable in a global organization that is optimizing for team outcomes above individual sentiment. The ideal Krakenite is thick-skinned and well intentioned,” he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
