"We are open to bringing over individuals — even entire teams — if there’s a clear path to have a 10x impact on Tumblr’s growth and revenue."
OOOOOf. Big miss to create contrast from Elon there Automattic.
Don't get me wrong, I love Automattic and WordPress is my jam but boy am I disappointed they bungled the messaging here.
If I'm an engineer escaping a tyrant with unrealistic expectations, I certainly don't want to join another company... with unrealistic expectations.
If you increase Automattic's revenue by 10x you deserve to OWN Automattic.
- francisofascii 4y agoMaybe that part was referring to "entire teams." I.e. if we are going to keep an entire team intact, rather than pick a few people, then they better make a huge impact.
