Automattic is reportedly laying off staff.
TechCrunch reports that layoffs have hit the company’s “communications team, social team, WordPress.com, and its VIP enterprise business.” It’s unclear how many have been laid off.
Automattic’s head of comms, Chenda Ngak, gave this statement to The Verge — “We’re staggering our organizational changes to be more generous with severance and allow more time with each Automattician.” — and said she had nothing else to add.
The cuts follow CEO Matt Mullenweg being briefly placed on leave in September.
Update: Added Automattic statement.
