very few doing this just to get access to site

People care a lot; top performers carry this company and the result is that Kin has been very lucky to succeed. However, exec leadership can't decide as a collective where Kin should go.

The company’s growth appears to rely heavily on a small group of very high-performing employees who consistently take on extremely large scopes of work. While leadership frequently speaks about preventing burnout, the day-to-day expectations can still involve late nights, weekend work, and work during vacation. When concerns about workload or capacity are raised, the feedback often centers on individual prioritization; this can make burnout feel more like a personal issue than a structural one. The environment can also feel highly competitive among peers, which can sometimes work against collaboration and create unnecessary internal pressure, and back-stabbing. There are many talented and hardworking people across the organization, but clearer prioritization from executive leadership and a more sustainable approach to workload would meaningfully improve the employee experience.
