- sureIy 2y agoSome people just think they're above the law. This Matt guy has gone mental.
- withinboredom 2y agoYeah, but pretty sure some of the employees/volunteers are in on it or "just following orders."
- speedgoose 2y agoYes, no one stopped the co-funder and it's unlikely he did the fork and the change of ownership only by himself. Other people at Automattic are responsible too.
- sureIy 2y agoConsidering how many people stayed, it's clear that they've been brainwashed to think what he's doing is ok.
- slyall 2y agoOr they didn't feel confident about quickly getting a new job in this market. Especially since Automattic is mostly/entirely WFH. It's pretty unlikely the company will go completely broke any time soon so their jobs are probably fairly safe.
- hello_moto 2y agoIn this job market? Damn, where's common sense and logic?
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoAll the sane people left when Matt offered them $30,000 or six months of salary to quit.
- threeseed 2y agoThey also have the worst social media team I have ever seen: https://x.com/WordPress/status/1845121130207535524 https://x.com/WordPress/status/1845121130207535524
- docdeek 2y agoThis is wild. Surely Matt isn't tweeting from the official account - marketing would not allow that, right?
- pwdisswordfishz 2y agoWho is she, though?
- InsideOutSanta 2y ago1. It doesn't matter. 2. It takes one click to find out that she's the "founder of http://Client-Portal.io http://Client-Portal.io, a WP plugin for freelancers to use with their clients to keep track of all the deliverables in a centralized portal"
- ablation 2y agoMullengweg taking a leaf out of Musk PR playbook, clearly.
- raverbashing 2y agoWhile the situation is much less problematic, I think WordPress management could listen to their lawyers more
- labster 2y agoOne of Automattic’s statements was issued by Neal Katyal, who was Acting Solicitor General of the United States. I would tend towards thinking the client himself may be the problem.
