Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg Put on 'Leave of Absence'
https://www.404media.co/wordpress-automattic-ceo-matt-mullenweg-put-on-leave-of-absence/Mullenweg took the news with his typical sense of grace, and had a sook on a company-wide Slack channel: "And the biggest news: I won't be able to make the ELT tomorrow."
My brother in condiments, it's not that difficult; the recipe is in the name: Eggs, Lettuce, and Tomato. Put 'em between two slabs of bread, any order you like, with or without margarine/butter, and you're good to go.
Unless you're an arrogant techbro, sorely lacking in people skills, who's laid-off so many talented workers in the last two years and scared-off fresh talent, that you've inflicted brain-drain on Automattic, and — in my humble opinion — singlehandedly pushed the company from being perhaps the best DIY-website-publishing-in-a-box company to a shambling mess in terminal decline. People are sick of Mullenweg, and are not going to make him that sandwich, no matter how much he tries to sudo.

"On a company-wide Slack this morning, Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg announced he has been put on a paid leave of absence.
“And the biggest news: I won't be able to make the ELT tomorrow,” Matt wrote in an Announcement Slack. He continued, writing that Mark Davies, current Automattic Chief Financial Officer, has “conspired” with Automattic Board of Directors members Ann Dunwoody, Toni Schneider, and Sue Decker “behind my back and they voted to put me on a paid leave of absence. I voted against that.”
He wrote that Davies was voted to be the new interim CEO. “I received the resolution 50 minutes before the meeting start, and requested repeatedly for time to have it reviewed by independent legal counsel, even a few hours, which was denied,” Mullenweg wrote."

My favourite article about #MattMullenweg's involuntary ousting as CEO of #Automattic is the one by @ernie.
I used it as a launching-off point to write my own thoughts about why this change is the best possible thing for Automattic... but also, perhaps, for Matt. And that perhaps we should see this not as a shift in power... but as an intervention for somebody who needs help but can't yet see it for themselves.

CW: Repost: Automattic Minus Matt
There's a lot of tech press this morning about the involuntary ousting of my former boss Matt Mullenweg from his CEO position at Automattic. Ernie Smith from Tedium's article is my favourite. Here's my take on why this is good for Automattic (and everybody else!), and why this should be seen not as a power grab... but as an intervention!

Gute Entscheidung.
