Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg offered a second buyout round to employees who don’t agree with his actions, according to a report from 404 Media. In a message to employees seen by the outlet, Mullenweg gave employees until October 17th to decide whether they would resign in exchange for nine months of pay.
“New alignment offer: I guess some people were sad they missed the last window. Some have been leaking to the press and ex-employees,” Mullenweg wrote in the message seen by 404 Media. “You have until 00:00 UTC Oct 17 (-4 hours) to DM me the words, ‘I resign and would like to take the 9-month buy-out offer’ You don’t have to say any reason, or anything else. I will reply ‘Thank you.’ Automattic will accept your resignation.”
