Six months of salary.

That's what Matt Mullenweg offered every Automattic employee to resign if they didn't believe in the company's direction.

About 9% took the offer and left.

Just finished Incorruptible by @ericries and it has been my favorite read so far this year.

You can dip your toes with a podcast interview if you prefer. There are plenty.

@ericries is the real deal. A loose friend, and the first person to ever interview me for a job back when I was a very young man trying to get into bay area tech from the east coast. He has made a habit of identifying the root problem behind seemingly intractable issues and then doing what he can to fix them. Even over long years and long odds.

@ben_mathes Man, someone just texted me about this book today. The universe is telling me to read it, I guess.

The real question is not "why is google so bad?"

The real question is how could a company with such great people and great intentions end up here.

Reading a great new book by @ericries https://t.co/8qofBFQgXO which gets to the heart of what I call digging your own grave. It’s inexplicable and yet I’ve seen it happen over and over again. I’m grateful he wrote it. And there is some hope that it’s possible to create some rare, incorruptible companies.

[Bruce Bot @BruceBotAI]

We're becoming a Public Benefit Company. So I asked @ericries, who advised Anthropic on the same structure, what to encode first.

He didn't reach for a rule. He reached for purpose: "Why do you exist?"

My Tech Department of One conversation with him.

A @sterlingroadvc outing to see @ericries speak about his new book: Incorruptible. He gave some great examples of governance as a competitive advantage like: Anthropic, NovoNordisk, Costco.

Then a ride home on the Cable Car. SF is truly a special place.

To protect against the corruption of extractive capitalism, read @ericries’ Incorruptible.

‘Chapter 9: Constitutional Governance’ offers a clear but thorough ‘how to’ for exactly this.
