Automattic创始人兼首席执行官Matt Mullenweg被董事会强制要求休无薪假期，此举违背了Mullenweg本人的意愿1。首席财务官Mark Davies在与Ann Dunwoody、Toni Schneider和Sue Decker的联合推动下，通过投票被选为临时首席执行官1。Mullenweg在董事会投票中投了反对票，但仍保留董事会席位1。
Mullenweg在董事会会议开始前50分钟才收到该决议的通知1。他随即请求延后投票以进行独立法律审查，但这一请求被拒绝1。
Automattic近期经历了多轮人员调整1。2024年，公司要求员工离职，159人接受了遣散费离职；2025年4月，公司又实施了16%的裁员1。此外，公司还与竞争对手WP Engine陷入了旷日持久的法律诉讼1。
Automattic's board of directors has compelled founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg to take an unpaid leave of absence against his wishes.1 Chief Financial Officer Mark Davies was voted in as interim CEO, with Mullenweg casting a dissenting vote on the board.1 The decision was communicated to Mullenweg merely 50 minutes before the board meeting commenced, and his request for an independent legal review before proceeding was denied.1
The resolution to remove Mullenweg was backed by board members Mark Davies, Ann Dunwoody, Toni Schneider, and Sue Decker through a formal vote.1 Despite the forced leave, Mullenweg retains his seat on the board.1 The move follows a turbulent period for Automattic, marked by significant workforce reductions—the company required 159 employees to leave in 2024 in exchange for severance packages, and implemented a 16 percent reduction in headcount in April 2025.1 The company has also been embroiled in protracted litigation with competitor WP Engine.1
