Quoting:
> In the “Alignment Offer,” Mullenweg offered Automattic employees six months of pay or $30,000, whichever was higher, with the stipulation that they would lose access to their work logins that same evening and would not be eligible for rehire.
> One hundred and fifty-nine people took the offer and left. “However now, I feel much lighter,” Mullenweg wrote in his blog.
Awesome. I'd love to see more offers like this.

I suspect most of them were in the $30,000 bracket. If you make less than $60k/year, it's significantly easier math to decide to take the payout and find another job.
