Former FTX employee gives insights into company culture
Some highlights from ex FTX employee Danielle Cloud:
-
The Bahamas office had 24/7 food catering. Employees were also provided with free groceries, free monthly haircuts, and bi-weekly massages.
-
The company had 6 or so luxury condos for employees to use, free-of-charge. Stays at luxury hotels were also expensed by FTX.
-
Staff worked Monday through Sunday, and were shouted at for requesting holidays off.
-
Sam brought in a mental health specialist to treat employee fatigue. This person is said to be a family friend of the Bankman-Frieds. There are allegations that the psych frequently asked Danielle about her sex life, and informed her that his wife would not mind if he cheated (yikes).
-
Allegations that FTX admin illegally shipped drugs to Nassau, with prescriptions being filled in California and Florida
-
Everyone at FTX knew the "effective altruism" persona was bullshit.
-
FTX failed to meet its charitable commitments. Sam's father told staff the money would be better spent on legal fees.
