As entertaining as it can be to follow a public meltdown for 5 minutes, this hurts because Automattic was a company I used to look up to. I had the idea that some day I might work for them. Not sure this will still be possible. Maybe on a business unrelated to Wordpress.
> 159 people took the offer, 8.4% of the company, the other 91.6% gave up $126M of potential severance to stay!
That is an interesting (meritful, imo) way of putting it.
- righthand 2y agoYes using percentages to claim that those people never mattered to Automattic. Classy.
- solarkraft 2y agoI’m not commenting on any other claim - I think it’s an interesting framing that 90% of the company still has its back (perhaps already yes-people? I suppose there were signs of his erratic behavior before this).
- righthand 2y agoPeople still support others like Matt or worse so it’s not surprising.
