Smart move to rip the bandaid off early and get ahead in terms of runway in case it's needed instead of extending the pain. Probably easier for employees to find a job as well before unemployment rises.

It just feels kind of weird to transition from hiring aggressively -> laying off 1/5th of your staff within a couple weeks. I had always associated layoffs with companies that were stagnating.

Not only has this downturn been a great release of financial capital into strong hands, but the positive of shitcoin companies laying off employees is it means there is also a release of human capital that could potentially flow into strong, more ethical bitcoin only companies. Fantastic opportunity for companies like Strike.
This is how you drain shitcoins of resources.

14 weeks minimum severance is amazing. I was offered 10 weeks only because i was at my company for 5 years LOL

I suspect the severance is so significant because the layoffs were so abrupt.

Mine was extremely abrupt as well lol

so basically they are thinking the bear market will last longer than 14 weeks?
Also, is this a bottom signal? Capitulation?

Coinbase is a large US based and regulated shitcoin casino. They are worried about what comes next from regulators after the huge Luna and Celsius Ponzi's imploded.
