"These conversations involving shame and uncertainty from workers have seemingly popped up in internal channels whenever Palantir has been in the news over the last year. “I think the only thing not different is a lot of folks are still incredibly wary about leaks and talking to the press,” one current employee tells WIRED, describing how the internal company culture has evolved over the last year.

All of this dissent doesn’t seem to bother Karp, who recently told workers that the company is “behind the curve internally” when it comes to popularity. Here, he’s been consistent; in March 2024 Karp told a CNBC reporter that “if you have a position that does not cost you ever to lose an employee, it’s not a position.”

But for employees, the culture shift feels intentional. “I don’t want to assert that I have knowledge of what’s going on in their internal mind,” one former worker tells WIRED. “But maybe it’s gotten to a place where encouraging independent thought and questioning leads to some bad conclusions.”"

"A President with his lowest approval ratings ever, attends an annual high profile dinner he has boycotted for years where an assassination attempt happens. He is prepared to deliver press comments 30 minutes after the shooting, where he speaks of uniting the country. Hmm..."
