I'd like to point something out.
Thus far, this conversation has been dominated by questions about blockchain, AI, and web3 technology. Mr. Scott, in fact, drove the conversation this way by hinting at it being the reason behind multiple people jumping ship. However, I don't think this is the case. At least, not excusively.
Note, Ms. Lilley's post in this thread specifically mentions helping ex-employees deal with emotional and psychological trauma. Certainly, people have strong feelings about web3 and AI but I doubt this caused trauma.
I think we need to consider this isn't about the ethics of technology exclusively but the morals and ethics of how employees are treated.
Thus far we've only really seen the resignation announcements, which were vague, and the full court press of Evil Genius employees in this thread. Please remember, when it comes to potential toxic workplaces, it takes time for victims to coordinate, to gather their thoughts, to pluck up their courage (and it does take courage), and to speak out.
So, please remember, this isn't about 1s and 0s, blocks and chains. This is about people leaving jobs in an hobby they love despite not having an exit strategy and despite a serious lack of similar jobs elsewhere in the industry. My personal feeling is this is about more than 1s and 0s and blocks and chains.
My disclaimer: I have no proof of Evil Genius being a toxic workplace. It may be the best place in the world to work - but I do feel we shouldn't be directed by clever words towards technological a boogie man when age old problems might be more likely. Either way, I'm willing to be patient and wait until those who left feel ready and able to speak out.
