My Beliefs and Principles

A number of people are trying to brand me as transphobic, so I thought I would list out a number of my personal beliefs so folks coming across this in the future can judge for themselves.

I believe love is love, and consenting adults should be able to have whatever form of relationship they want or don't want. I believe governments should recognize all these unions with the same rights.

I believe people should be able to change their name, gender identity, and preferred pronouns whenever they want and however many times they want. I personally endeavor to follow all these preferences that are known to me.

I support adults making any modifications to their body they like.

I support people choosing to share or keep private the above.

This is not meant to be comprehensive, and in researching this post to make sure I was using the right language to express my beliefs I read through the Yogyakarta Principles and agree with everything in that document, which is much more comprehensive.

A few other points I'll include for context and history:

Both Automattic and WordPress.org, founded or co-founded by me in 2005 and 2003 respectively, have consistently supported LGBT+ organizations, contributors, and employees.

Automattic's open time off benefit includes full pay for medical time off has supported a number of people transitioning. We've invested considerable development time in updating or working around legacy HR systems to recognize the principles above, and will continue to as best practices evolve or we find mistakes.

When we remodeled Automattic's NYC office before moving in we made the bathrooms gender neutral. Same for a commercial warehouse I've recently remodeled.

I've personally donated to LGBT+ organizations as far back as 2016, and more recently have donated mid five figures to Human Rights organizations.

I have dedicated my life since the age of 19 to open source software, which I believe to be radically inclusive, and democratizing publishing, commerce, and messaging. My hope is this work contributes, even if in a small domain-specific way, to a more fair and just society.

Thinking about some headcanons of the differences between the Agency and Zoraxis

Sticking a linebreak in here because I have no impulse control and wrote like, 700 words

The Agency:

In my eyes, they are severely underfunded. Their facilities are practically ancient. You know how your school always has that one part that hasn't been refurbished in decades? Yeah, that's pretty much their entire base of operations, no matter which location you look at.

I'd like to imagine the sense of community is either really strong or really strained. If you're working in, say, HR, I feel like you'd have a really nice bond with your coworkers. However, on the other hand, there's the EOD. I feel that they, would have a tense atmosphere. I mean, if your coworkers were dying every other day, I wouldn't really want to get attached. Even still, there are always a few EOD agents that have grown close to each other and they never deal well with the loss of their coworkers.

The Agency, however, has a very good training programme for their prospective field agents. I envision it as something like past (surviving) field agents or handlers teaching the new recruits all their tips and tricks. (and how to disarm a bomb effectively)

Everyone has absolutely horrible pay. Sure, you might be in the EOD, risking your life on a daily basis, but you'd only just be able to afford a small apartment. The higher-ups consider it almost pointless: they'd just die anyway so why waste all that precious money?

I feel that all Handlers who are ex-field agents would be best friends. They'd all joke about their numerous near-death experiences on the daily. Sort of like the fond retellings we hear Phoenix's Handler talk about over the course of the games. I think they have a shared break room of sorts near their offices.

Zoraxis:

I'd think that they have top-notch facilities- state-of-the-art shit. (they are a very successful business, after all) I'm talking fancy architecture and everything. I feel like they'd be the kind of place where they have those Dyson hand dryers and very nice-smelling soap.

Unlike the Agency, I think the Zoraxis employees/operatives would be relatively nice to each other. Their relationships wouldn't be based on their departments cause I feel like being assigned to a life-threatening mission only happens once (they almost always due to lack of experience)

However, Zoraxis has terrible training programmes. They want to save money so they just stick their new recruits into a single building and hire the cheapest self-defence teachers they can put onto a salary.

Zoraxis employees have a pretty good paycheck, all things considered. They pay a decent amount over minimum wage so most people are able to live somewhat comfortably. I feel like one of the selling points of getting a job is their ability to provide accommodation if needed. They'd have enough money to buy a few apartment blocks for their new hires.

Similarities:

Okay, be so real, they'd both suck at doing background checks. The Agency because they can't really be picky for their field agents and Zoraxis because they don't give a shit. You could be a murderer and they'd just let you walk in with no trouble. Hell, you could probably fake your documents and no one would bat an eye.

The director and Zor rarely show their faces around the building. I feel like all the employees would spread the most out-there rumours about them.

They both have some employee of the month system. Zoraxis gives them out when they remember they have it. The lucky employee gets a little certificate and a small bonus on their next paycheck. At the Agency, Phoenix just has, like, so many. It's like, twenty picture frames in a row and yes, there is absolutely no variation in selected images, just the Agency-mandated ID photo everyone takes on their first day. They get nothing for it, just the gift of staring at their mug every time they are forced to wait for their Handler outside his office.

The Employer’s Playbook: Correcting Employee Misclassification

Navigating the labyrinth of labor laws, tax responsibilities, and HR best practices can sometimes feel like a full-contact sport for business owners. One of the significant challenges in this game is correctly classifying your personnel as either employees or independent contractors. Misclassification can result in dire consequences, including hefty fines and back taxes. In this detailed guide, we’ll break down why correct classification is critical, how to spot misclassification, and what to do if you find you’ve been playing on the wrong team.

What Is Employee and Independent Contractor Classification?

Before we draw battle lines, it’s essential to understand the various types of personnel at your disposal. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) each have their own criteria for what constitutes an employee versus an independent contractor. Employees typically work under the direction and control of an employer, whereas contractors maintain their independence, controlling when, where, and how the work is done. The distinction is vital because it affects how you pay taxes, allocate benefits, and protect your business from legal disputes.

Employers often prefer to engage workers as independent contractors because it:

Reduces administrative overhead

Eliminates the need to provide employee benefits

Allows for more flexible staffing arrangements

However, misclassification can open a Pandora’s box of unforeseen liabilities.

5 Indicators of Employee vs. Contractor Misclassification

The lines between employees and independent contractors can seem blurry, but certain indicators can clearly point one way or the other. Here are five indicators to watch for:

The Business's Degree of Control

The more control a business exercises over the work being done – including the manner and means of the work – the more likely the worker should be classified as an employee.

Financial Control

When the business controls significant aspects of a worker’s financial affairs, such as setting the pay rate or providing tools and materials, it’s a strong indication of an employer-employee relationship.

Investment in Facilities

If the worker has a significant investment in things like office space or equipment, they're more likely to be a contractor.

Opportunity for Profit or Loss

Contractors typically have the potential to make a profit or suffer a financial loss, while employees are often insulated from business fluctuations.

Permanency of the Relationship

An ongoing, indefinite working relationship suggests an employer-employee relationship. Contracts that specify a defined project or time frame lean more toward independent contractor status.

By assessinging these factors, you can catch early signs of misclassification and protect your business from unnecessary risk.

How to Correct Employee Misclassification

Discovering that you’ve misclassified workers can be a daunting reality, yet there is a path to rectification. Here are the vital steps to correct the course:

Identify the Misclassified Workers

The first step to fixing a problem is recognizing its existence. Audit your workforce to determine the scope of the misclassification.

Re-Evaluate Workforce Hiring Practices

Once the misclassified workers are identified, reassess how and why they were classified as independent contractors. Ensure your classification practices adhere to legal guidelines moving forward.

Adjust for Prior Compensation and Tax Withholding Errors

Correct any erroneous payroll tax filings and ensure all relevant taxes are appropriately withheld and paid.

Communicate Changes Transparently

Notify affected workers of the status change and what it means for their compensation and benefits.

Implement Corrective Policies

Establish clear policies and procedures for future worker classification, including documentation of the basis for classification.

By following these steps, you’ll mitigate the immediate damage and establish a framework for avoiding future misclassification issues.

5 Factors to Calculate Employee Misclassification Costs

Once you’ve acknowledged misclassification, it’s time to tally the costs. Knowing what you’re up against can help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Back Pay and Overtime

Misclassified employees may be owed back wages and overtime pay if they were treated as contractors when they should have been deemed employees.

Unemployment and Workers Compensation

Your business may be responsible for past and future payments associated with unemployment and workers compensation benefits.

Tax Adjustments

The IRS can penalize you for failing to withhold and match taxes appropriately for employees. You’ll need to amend past returns and address any unpaid tax liabilities.

Fines and Fees

In addition to the back taxes, the IRS or DOL may levy fines for misclassifications. These penalties can be substantial and vary depending on the number of employees involved and the severity of the violation.

Legal Costs

If an employee brings a lawsuit against your business due to misclassification, you’ll also need to factor in legal fees, settlement costs, and potential damage awards.

By factoring in these costs, you’ll be better equipped to map out how to best address the misclassification with the least amount of impact.

Navigating the complexities of employee classification is not for the faint of heart. However, staying informed about the indicators of misclassification and understanding how to rectify errors can save you immeasurable headaches down the line. Compliance isn’t always simple, but it is non-negotiable. Your workforce — and your bottom line — will thank you for these proactive measures.

In the fast-paced world of business, agility and foresight are your strongest allies. Knowing how to respond to misclassification can transform a potential pitfall into a learning opportunity. By understanding the rules and diligently auditing your practices, you can ensure that your team — both on the field and off — is set up for success.

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

I can't and won't speak for everyone, but your list is right and you should say it because

1. Everyone's birthday is in my phone calendar which is great until I lose or break a phone and have to quietly ask everyone to tell me again so I can re-add them, which is why I also now have a private Telegram channel to document birthdays

2. This simply does not happen. What you do, is you always have a backup plan for if the whole crew can't make it that people are okay missing, and you bump the everyone together plan to the next date night and also everyone RIGIDLY protects the once a month movie night from everything and everyone because that is the only way it ever works

3. Honestly, it basically looks the same as what happens when you and your best friend both get dumped in the same month, so. Not as unusual as you'd think, but my god ehat the emotional eating does to the grocery bill......

4. First you try to see if they want it sent to them. If you hate them, you send it badly packed. If you're trying to be friendly you pack it well. If you're the asshole you just don't send it and it probably gets destroyed or thrown out but if it's useful, we had a lottery system for found objects so I imagine that'd work here too.

5. Hahahahahhahahahahha. Haha. No, the best you'll get is "themed", but you'll have way more fun than you think giving it the ol college try

6. My mother had a rule: never date more than 4 people at once if you ever want to sleep again, and always have at least n-1 toilets in the house where n equals the number of people living there. My mother was a polyamorous lesbian and an engineer of various technical sorts, and while she was frequently insane she was also always practical and I have followed this advice religiously.

7. My mother was also quite adament that everyone who lived in a house should, if at all possible, be given dominion over 1 room, which meant it was theirs now amd everyone spending time in it had to respect their rules and expectations for it. Ideally these were all bedrooms but I did once lay claim to a bathroom with a tub in it because early onsent arthritis is a bitch, and no one argued with me about it so that was great. Point is, it's actually pretty rare for everyone to sleep together in one bed/room regardless of the weather. I know at least one polycule with a scheduled bed rotation lol

8. Locker cabinets are great for this. Everyone's special foods can go in their lil mini fridge or pantry box or whatever and I guess you could actually lock it if you feel like it, I preferred color-coded glitter bomb booby traps from a logistical stand point tho.

9. Whoever is the loudest about their misophonia in the bedroom gets to propose a "snacking cutoff" which must be negotiated/agreed by all parties but cannot be summarily dismissed or ignored. Mine is 12am on school nights.

10. Accountability is a process, not a static guarantee. Keeping the pathways of communication open and learning how to acknowledge our own involvement in the process of conflict is key. And sometimes you wake up one day and go "oh shit are we a cult?" And you pack your shit, drive 14 hrs south across multiple state lines, and then spend a few years in therapy until you hop back in the dating pool. Hypothetically, of course.

11. One big trip. You can invite multiple people to a family instacart account these days! Or of course you can go old school with the refrigerator grocery list everyone gets to add to. Personally, we tried to do expenses by income ratio, you know? If someone was 13% of the income, they paid about 13% of the expenses. 40% of the income? About 40% of the expenses. That sort of thing. Shared expense auto-pay accounts everyone deposits their portion of income into are helpful for this.

12. We had a basement fridge. It was very old and largely non-functional, but it DID still refridgerate at least. Everyone gets a shelf in the main fridge and the basement fridge. Definitely need a chest freezer tho, I ain't gonna lie.

15. The person who did the dishes was absolutely not dating any of us lmao, but if you wash the dishes you damn well get to stick around

Things that I imagine must be really hard about being in a polycule

Remembering everyone's birthday

Scheduling a group date night where everyone's free

A bad breakup where someone leaves and everyone's messed up about it. Like if it was just me I could wallow in solitude but like damn what do you even do. Talk shit?

Related to 3 but if someone breaks up from the polycule and leaves their stuff behind then who gets dibs. Is it like by seniority or do you draw straws or what

Finding a group Halloween costume that everyone is equally hyped for

Sharing a bathroom if you all live in the same place

Idk about this one but what's the sleeping situation in the summer. Like in the winter having a group pile sounds cozy as fuck but in the summer?? When it's sweaty and awful??? Bruh I'm on the couch

I don't trust ANYONE not to eat my Nutella and for every extra person there's an additional threat I must calculate my defense against

How do you tell someone in the 'cule they need to stop eating pretzel sticks in bed without it feeling like an intervention. Is there an assigned emissary that speaks on behalf of the collective. Again, do you just draw straws? Drawing straws seems like a really good solution to a lot of these actually huh

Is there some kind of self-evaluation system that holds yall back from accidentally becoming a cult do yall just see Kim head out for a date in a white robe one morning and roll with it

Does everyone do their own grocery shopping or is it all like one big trip?

Is there enough room in the fridge for everyone's stuff or does the one with the deepfreeze reign eternal like immortan joe

If I was in a polycule and we all collectively stopped being attracted to the person who genuinely enjoys washing dishes then I don't think I'd be able to break it off with them I think I'd have to just handle that with god

"A Step-by-Step Guide to Transitioning Your Company to a Flexible Work Week"

The traditional 9-to-5 work schedule is evolving. Companies worldwide are embracing flexible work weeks to improve employee satisfaction, reduce burnout, and boost productivity. But shifting to a flexible schedule requires careful planning, the right tools, and clear policies to ensure success.

If you're considering this transition, this step-by-step guide will help you implement a flexible work week without losing productivity.

Why Shift to a Flexible Work Week?

Before diving into the steps, let’s look at why companies are making this move:

✅ Higher productivity – Employees work more efficiently when given flexibility. ✅ Better work-life balance – Reduces burnout and increases job satisfaction. ✅ Improved employee retention – Workers prefer companies that value flexibility. ✅ Cost savings – Reduced office expenses and absenteeism.

Now, let’s break down the process into actionable steps.

Step 1: Define Your Flexible Work Model

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to a flexible work week. Decide which model best suits your business:

🔹 Compressed Work Week

Employees work the same total hours but in fewer days (e.g., 4-day work week, 10-hour shifts).

🔹 Hybrid Work Model

Employees split their time between remote work and office work (e.g., 3 days in-office, 2 days remote).

🔹 Flexible Hours (Flextime)

Employees choose their start and end times while completing required hours.

🔹 Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE)

Employees are measured by output, not hours worked.

Choose the model that aligns with your company’s goals and employee needs.

Step 2: Get Leadership and Employee Buy-In

A successful transition requires support from leadership and employees.

🔹 Communicate the benefits of flexible work schedules. 🔹 Address concerns about productivity, communication, and accountability. 🔹 Gather employee feedback through surveys or meetings. 🔹 Run a pilot program before full implementation.

A transparent discussion helps ease fears and ensures a smooth transition.

Step 3: Set Clear Guidelines and Policies

Flexibility doesn’t mean lack of structure. Define clear policies to ensure accountability:

✔ Core work hours – Define mandatory availability periods for collaboration. ✔ Communication expectations – Specify response times for emails, chats, and meetings. ✔ Performance tracking – Set clear KPIs to measure productivity. ✔ Eligibility criteria – Determine which roles qualify for flexible work.

Document these policies in an employee handbook for clarity.

Step 4: Implement the Right Tools

Technology plays a crucial role in managing a flexible work week. Equip your team with the right tools:

🔹 uKnowva HRMS (for workforce management)

✔ Track attendance and working hours ✔ Automate HR processes ✔ Manage remote and hybrid teams

✔ Instant messaging and video calls ✔ Organized channels for team discussions

✔ Assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress ✔ Keep remote teams aligned

✔ Monitor hours worked for accountability

Choosing the right tools ensures seamless collaboration and productivity.

Step 5: Train Employees and Managers

Flexibility requires a mindset shift. Conduct training sessions on:

📌 Time management strategies for remote and flexible work. 📌 Best practices for virtual collaboration and meetings. 📌 Using productivity tools effectively. 📌 Maintaining work-life balance to prevent burnout.

Proper training prepares everyone for a successful transition.

Step 6: Test with a Pilot Program

Before rolling out a company-wide change, start with a pilot program:

🔹 Select a small department or team for a 3–6 month trial. 🔹 Track productivity levels and gather feedback. 🔹 Identify challenges and adjust policies if needed. 🔹 Scale the program gradually based on results.

A pilot program helps you fine-tune your approach before full implementation.

Step 7: Measure Success and Adjust

Once implemented, continuously evaluate its impact:

✔ Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) – Measure productivity, employee engagement, and retention. ✔ Conduct regular check-ins – Gather employee feedback through surveys. ✔ Refine policies – Adjust work schedules, expectations, or tools based on results.

A flexible work week is an ongoing process, so keep improving it for long-term success.

Final Thoughts: Is a Flexible Work Week Right for Your Business?

A flexible work week isn’t just a trend—it’s a smarter way to work. When implemented effectively, it leads to happier employees, increased productivity, and a more engaged workforce.

🎯 Start small, track results, and refine your approach. 🎯 Use the right tools like uKnowva HRMS, Slack, and Trello. 🎯 Communicate openly and ensure leadership buy-in.

With the right strategy, your company can thrive in the future of work.

Top Tips to Stay Compliant with HMRC IR35 Regulations

HMRC IR35 regulations have significantly impacted contractors, freelancers, and businesses in the UK by addressing tax avoidance in off-payroll working arrangements. These rules ensure that individuals operating as contractors but functioning as employees contribute the same level of income tax and National Insurance as regular employees. Compliance with these regulations is critical to avoiding penalties and ensuring smooth business operations.

A key aspect of IR35 is determining whether a contract falls inside or outside the regulations. If deemed inside IR35, the contractor is classified as a "deemed employee," shifting the responsibility for income tax and National Insurance deductions to the client or agency. Businesses and contractors must accurately assess each contract to avoid misclassification, which can result in backdated tax payments and financial penalties.

To determine IR35 status, HMRC provides the Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) tool, which evaluates employment relationships based on key factors such as control, substitution, and mutuality of obligation. Control refers to how much authority the client has over the contractor’s work schedule, location, and methods. The right to provide a substitute to complete the work suggests an arrangement outside IR35, while an ongoing obligation between the contractor and client may indicate an employment relationship.

Several misconceptions about IR35 compliance persist. Some believe IR35 applies only to contractors, but businesses hiring contractors also bear significant responsibility. Others assume that using the CEST tool guarantees compliance, while in reality, the tool’s results are not legally binding, and expert consultation may be necessary for complex cases. Each contract is assessed individually, and not all contractors automatically fall within IR35.

To ensure compliance, businesses and contractors should follow best practices, such as carefully reviewing contracts to ensure they reflect the actual working relationship. Specific clauses addressing control, substitution, and mutuality of obligation should be included, and generic contract templates should be avoided. The CEST tool can provide initial guidance, but its results should be documented for future reference.

Engaging professional accountants or legal advisors specializing in IR35 can help navigate compliance complexities. These experts can assess contracts, mitigate risks, and represent clients in disputes with HMRC. Additionally, businesses should monitor working practices to ensure they align with contractual terms, as discrepancies may lead to a reclassification under IR35.

Education is another crucial component of compliance. HR and payroll teams should receive proper training to accurately assess employment status and reduce the risk of non-compliance. A well-informed team can manage IR35 obligations more effectively and prevent costly mistakes.

Non-compliance with IR35 can result in serious financial and reputational consequences. If a contract is incorrectly classified, HMRC may demand backdated taxes, including income tax, National Insurance contributions, and employer liabilities. Businesses found to be in violation may also face substantial fines and interest on unpaid amounts, along with reputational damage that could impact their ability to attract contractors in the future.

Using the CEST tool correctly can simplify IR35 compliance, but contractors and businesses must answer all questions accurately and reassess their status periodically, particularly when contract terms or working relationships change. Keeping detailed records of these assessments demonstrates due diligence and can serve as valuable evidence in the event of an HMRC investigation.

HMRC actively enforces IR35 compliance, with an increasing number of investigations targeting industries that rely heavily on contractors, such as IT, construction, and healthcare. Large businesses with multiple contractors, long-term contracts, and companies flagged for previous non-compliance are more likely to face scrutiny.

To operate confidently within the framework of IR35 regulations, businesses and contractors must stay informed, conduct regular assessments, and align contractual agreements with actual working practices. Seeking professional guidance and maintaining proper documentation are essential to ensure compliance and avoid costly penalties.
