Coinbase announces ‘nearly the entire company will shut down’ for four weeklong breaks in 2022 to allow workers to recharge By Cointelegraph

Major U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:) will be giving its employees one week off each quarter in 2022 to recharge after “long days and long weeks” of intense work.

In a Monday blog post, Coinbase chief people officer L.J. Brock said “nearly the entire company will shut down” for four separate weeks this year as part of an experiment in allowing workers to recuperate after completing intense workloads. Brock said the exchange’s employees aren’t necessarily limited to 40-hour work weeks and may have to “pivot at a moment’s notice,” seemingly creating the potential for burnout.
