  Hi

  I’m a journalist at Metro.co.uk writing about the future of remote working – looking particularly at what will happen to office romances and friendships if we all work from home. (We use WordPress on our site by the way!)

  I’m looking to speak to a company which allows employees to work from home to find out how it operates. I know WordPress as a company allows remote working.

  So, do you have company meet-ups/Christmas parties? And how does it work if you all work from various locations around the world?

  I look forward to hearing from you.

  Thanks,
  Faima

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for replying!

  I’m looking to speak to a distributed company. We’re writing about what will happen if all workforces are forced to go remote and wanted to look at what current models look like. As Automatic is remote, I wondered if there are any real-life company-based events that bring employees together? Or is this not a priority, especially as certain people/teams can liaise with each other virtually?
