Episode notes
Automattic's Distributed Model
- Automattic scaled to a fully distributed company with 1,100 employees across 75 countries since 2005.
- They avoid calling it "remote" to emphasize equal importance of all locations without a central office.
Moral Case for Distributed Work
- Companies that can enable distributed work should do so as a moral imperative beyond the current crisis.
- Transitioning well demands redesigning work, not just replicating office routines remotely.
Autonomy is Key in Distributed Work
- Distributed organizations can offer more autonomy, the key for motivated work, more than mastery and purpose.
- Offices reduce worker autonomy over environmental factors, limiting productivity and satisfaction.
