Days after 159 employees accepted Automattic's previous severance package, CEO Matt Mullenweg offered a new 9-month deal to anyone who quit immediately, raising concerns over swift company departures.
Mullenweg's new severance offer came with a catch: those who accepted would lose access to Automattic and the WordPress.org community, effectively banning them under their existing IDs.
The short four-hour window for decision-making left employees with little time to consider their resignations, prompting questions about workplace culture and leadership at Automattic.
Mullenweg stated, 'You don't have to say any reason or anything else… you will lose access to Automattic and Worg,' highlighting the gravity of the decision.
