![]() ![]() Some of those leaving may not want to do any of this – and that’s okay too. We encourage you to take the time for farewells, including writing goodbye blogs and sharing any handovers. For people who have access to sensitive data, laptops will be locked, however, they will still be able to use Confluence, Slack, Zoom, and Gmail on other enrolled devices. Most people leaving will have the option to interact with their teams until the end of the day Friday, local time. Our default to trust is an incredibly important part of our culture. We know the industry standard is to block access to communication tools immediately. Outplacement services – We’re partnering with a third party to provide coaching, resume-building and guidance, and job-seeking support.This will be the case for everyone regardless of where they live and what the labour laws specify.

Global separation package – 15 weeks + 1 week for each year of service.To assist those leaving us in their employment transition, we will be offering: How are we doing this?Īs we said in our last blog, our value of Build with Heart and Balance is about making the hard, right decisions with passion, empathy, and care. This is about rebalancing the roles we need across Atlassian first and foremost. ![]() Every single person has made contributions that have changed our company for the better and will leave a lasting impact on their peers and teams. We want to be clear these decisions are not a reflection of our teammates’ work. While many teams across Atlassian are impacted, some of our most impacted teams include Talent Acquisition, Program Management, and Research & Insights. This is different to a financially-driven reduction, where you would look to make ‘broad-based cuts’ – for example, a 10% cut equally distributed across every org within the company. We’ve made hard calls to reduce our investment in specific areas, in order to reinvest in others. Although hard, this rebalancing will help us put more wood behind these arrows. To be clear, this decision is not a reflection of Atlassian’s own financial performance, as we will be reinvesting in roles that better support our priorities. As a company, we have massive growth opportunities in front of us, particularly across cloud migrations, ITSM, and serving our enterprise customers in the cloud. While it helped us streamline work, we need to go further in rebalancing the skills we require to run faster at our company priorities. We made tough calls to prioritise the most critical work for our current and future customers. We’ve tried to be incredibly thoughtful in how we balance the impact this will have on our people, and the responsibility we have to set Atlassian up for success.Ī month back we reorganised our company to better reflect operating in a changing and difficult macroeconomic environment. In the spirit of Open Company, No Bullshit, here’s our honest take on how these decisions came to be. ![]() To those who are leaving us: we are deeply sorry. We came to this decision as an executive team and with our board, but ultimately the final call is on us as co-founders. We’ve written 134 Founder blogs since 2011, but this one comes with the heaviest of hearts knowing we are saying goodbye to great teammates and friends. We have made the difficult decision to rebalance our team to better position Atlassian for the long term, meaning we will be saying goodbye to around 500 Atlassians, or 5% of our employees. Today marks a very hard day in our 20-year history. ![]()
