The exec team is very disconnected. The latest example is the CPO trying to tell employees that 40 hours per week is not enough, when most of them are working 55+ hours.

Stop trying to chase every trend in crypto by asking people to work 80 hours a week. Stop looking up to Amazon or expecting the average tenure to be less than 2 years.
