Unity Software to lay off 1,800 employees as part of a corporate restructuring::Unity Software is slashing about 25% of its workforce just eight months after announcing its prior round of layoffs.
Lol, the CEO fucked each and every one of these people over. Restructuring, my ass.
Totally. The classic MBA move of firing important people who’s role he doesn’t understand, seeing short term gains from lack of salaries, and exits the company just in time for it to tank because it can’t operate without those people. Walks away with a few cool million, on to his next company to suck dry.
Yep, and now they will struggle to get new talent and the ones that can will likely leave as they don’t feel safe. I feel sorry for the employees, but this is how it’s supposed to work. Future ceos of other companies might think twice before screwing over customers and other devs.
So it sucks for their affected, but it should be a net benefit to the industry long term.
Employees that get fired over dumb-ass CEO decisions should be able to sue the crap out of the company. Let’s make it easier to kill the companies that do this shit.
So you’re calling for 100% layoffs?
After what they tried to pull a few months back I have no sympathy.
None for unity, but I have tons for the employees. Company execs made some dumb decision and now they are losing their jobs.
While the execs undoubtedly get additional bonuses and a nice cushy landing when they inevitably bail…
Well they cut costs by 25%! Great job all around!
New CEO now though. Old CEO fucked Unity hard. Jim is the old RedHat CEO before IBM bought them. He was super well liked there. So I have some faith in him getting things back on track and having a good company culture. Just takes time and unfortunately wrecking ball some times. I speak as someone who has been laid off from corporate restructuring before. I found bigger better things with more pay.
The only way that this could be good news, is if the entire c-suite was a part of that 1800.
It’s cute that anyone thinks that would ever happen.
Oh, I don’t think it would, I’m just saying it would be good news if that were the case.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Make your customers hate you.
Make your staff hate you.
Wow, what a great business plan they have. I’m sure there’s a bright future for them.
They don’t need a future. They want profit right now. Pump and dump.
And not one c suite member was fired.
oh no
It seems like every big game company I apply for turns to shit, sorry guys I’ll stop
First they fuck their customers, then they fuck their employees. Execs are doing a great job, probably gonna give themselves a raise.
damn. I need to be an exec. sounds like they fuck
