2109 days, 5 countries, countless moments.

A lot has happened since I started working at Automattic. We lost our house in a fire, had a child, travelled, weathered a global pandemic.

When I joined, there were a ~240 Automattians, but it still felt like a small company. Fast forward to today and Automattic has grown to 2000 employees. All working where ever they want in the world, within a fully distributed company.

I learned so much during my six years years. Met so many amazing people. Travelled to places I would have otherwise never seen.

Today I signed out of work for the last time. I had five weeks to prepare for this and going into today, I was ready. But when I closed my laptop it hit me… and I was not ready.

The tears are a great reminder that six years ago I made the right decision joining Automattic. They’re a reminder of all the great experiences and people I met. Next week I start a new adventure, but for right now I think I’ll spend a bit more time reminiscing,

Cheers Automattic and until we meet again ❤️
