At Automattic, we don’t just build the web; we build space for the moments that define us. Read Manzoor’s story: automattic.com/2026/03/11/one…

“Not caring about my work during those days was a huge relief,” says Manzoor. That peace of mind allowed him to stay present through the long routine of monitoring a premature newborn and simply being there when it mattered most.

When a baby arrives early, time becomes the only thing a family has. For Ahmad, a code wrangler at Automattic, a 32-week emergency C-section meant his world suddenly shrank to the size of a 1.4kg newborn. But he got support when it was needed most.
