Mike Cannon-Brookes opposes government mandates requiring work-from-home days and says mandating office attendance would be equally odd, arguing businesses should decide their own arrangements. Atlassian supports a hybrid 'work from anywhere' model for its 12,000+ employees while expanding in Victoria, opening a permanent Melbourne office and employing about 650 people in the state. About a quarter of Victorian employees come into an office occasionally, with the Queen Street office averaging around 75 percent daily occupancy and early weeks nearing 100 percent. Cannon-Brookes views competitors abandoning flexibility as advantageous for Atlassian recruitment and acknowledges remote work may not suit every business.
