I constantly get asked how Automattic survives being remote and distributed. How do we effectively get work done across different contexts and time zones?
The answer lies in our Creed—treating “communication as oxygen.” But communication alone isn’t enough. Without proper organization, we’d drown in the sheer volume of information a company of our scale produces.
That’s where P2 becomes the core of our breathing system. This long-form, text-based platform is where ideas thrive, discussions flourish, and decisions get documented and reviewed—eliminating tedious meetings and the need to sift through endless chat histories, documents, or presentations.
This centralized knowledge hub ensures everyone can integrate into our async culture, contributing thoughtfully and thoroughly regardless of their location or work pace.
I remember the chaos of managing hard-to-connect servers, multiple repositories, endless emails, calls, and chat after chat after chat. At Automattic, that’s gone for good—and I couldn’t be happier.
