At Automata, we believe that how we say goodbye to our team members reflects our culture as much as how we welcome new ones. This guide outlines our approach to offboarding and what you can expect when the time comes to part ways.

Our Philosophy

As a growing startup, we strive to balance being supportive to departing team members while maintaining our responsibility to the company and remaining team. While we may not match the exit packages of tech giants, we commit to taking care of our departing team members in a way that's fair and sustainable for our business.

Types of Leavers

Good Leavers

We consider you a "good leaver" if you are:

• Choosing to pursue opportunities that Automata cannot currently provide
• Leaving through mutual agreement
• Someone who has contributed meaningfully to our success
• Someone we would welcome back in the future

Bad Leavers

Bad leavers are those dismissed for cause. The process for bad leavers is different and will be discussed directly with relevant people.

Exit Options

Depending on your specific situation, your exit from Automata can be structured in the following ways. We aim to accommodate your preferences but we will balance this with the needs of the team.

1. Working Your Notice Period

This is our standard approach where you:

• Continue working under your existing contract terms
• Complete a comprehensive handover
• Maintain all confidentiality and data protection obligations
• Are granted reasonable flexibility to attend interviews or onboarding meetings for your next role, provided you maintain good performance
