As Krista so eloquently wrote it:
We expect to hire 60 new Automatticians in 2013. We’re a distributed company: Automatticians work from home, their local coffee shop, co-working spaces — the location in the world where they’re most comfortable and productive. Our hiring pool is planet Earth.

If you weren’t sure why I work at Automattic, here’s why. And if you weren’t sure why you should be using WordPress, here’s why too. Two birds, one stone thrown. 🙂 -

Working for Automattic could be beneficial to your health
A new study out of Montreal says those who stay at a job out of a sense of obligation or because of a lack of other employment options are more likely to experience burnout.
Staying put for those reasons can lead to emotional exhaustion and a chronic sense of physical and mental depletion from continuous stress and job demands, the study says. And this, in fact, may make those workers leave their job after all.
From Sense of obligation to employer causes burnout: study.
Is this you? Maybe you should work with us instead. 🙂

WordPress.com Metro app for Windows 8
Microsoft just released Windows 8 Consumer Preview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Guess what’s already running on it? Announcing the WordPress.com Metro app.
I was lucky enough to be on the Automattic team who developed the app, and got to interact with the internal Windows 8 team at Microsoft while doing so. Needless to say, it was both challenging and motivating, to say the least. Win 8 is pretty darn spiffy, which is saying a lot coming from a hardcore Mac and Linux user. 🙂
Oh, and yes, good habits die hard: the app is indeed open sourced, and released under the GPLv2. I wonder how many more OSS apps got featured not once, but twice by MS in their live worldwide demo? 🙂
