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.
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.
