Tuberculosis is not a medical problem, it's an inequality and access problem. Tuberculosis is fully solved in advanced countries yet less developed countries still suffer from it. Pakistan has 260 death per 100k capita, the US has 2.6. The highest 5 countries have at least 600 per 100k capita.

Spread mostly evenly. I'm not sure I'm allowed to share tenure, I'm mostly going to share what was here, but tenure felt logical, most people who left were on the 3-5 years range, most of people in Automattic joined in that period of rapid hiring.

The % of people who left is consistent between those 2 divisions.

Low performances usually go on a performance improvement plan (which almost half who enter it graduate it successfully to stay).

People on PIP didn't want to take their chances and just took the offer.

This does not mean all 150+ people were low performers, some of the brightest, most intelligent engineers and designers left, and I do miss them greatly and hold so much respect for them. Many of them were dear friends of mine.

For your attacking comment, I'm engaging my actual profile and name, and you're engaging with a throwaway account that's less than a day old, so I don't know who's more spinless.

You’re also talking without concrete knowledge. We work as international contractors, we handle our own local taxes. Automattic pays us the gross salary and it’s up to you.

This was a very distracting 4 days, I'm glad it ended quickly, the dust is settling now, and we're slowly going back to work.
