Automattic begins layoffs amid board upheaval and executive exits
Automattic, parent of WordPress.com, Tumblr and WooCommerce, has begun layoffs over the past week affecting its communications, social, WordPress.com and VIP enterprise teams, with insiders warning more cuts may follow. The move comes after a failed September board attempt to oust CEO Matt Mullenweg, which triggered a full board turnover and departures of the CFO, interim CFO and chief legal officer.
