Want to hear the truth about Automattic, the not-like-the-other-girls company that still thinks it is a startup after 20 years and his founder acts like he invented remote working? - Divisions by zero

it’s a bit of a red flag when 160 employees see something as trivial as a trademark dispute to take the opportunity to go away with a severance package

Realistically, any company of decent size will have workers who are tired of the job and would voluntarily leave if they got paid for it.

There are other red flags in this case, but I don’t think this is one of them.

Yes but when it’s almost a tenth of the workforce taking the voluntary severance, it’s not really normal unless the boat is sinking, the workplace is toxic, or both

8% getting up and leaving is not an indicator of health

esp when Matt was chasing some of them after desperate to get them to un-resign lol

Wow, you got a link to that schadenfreude somewhere?
I do not, but apparently it is so
