Unity ring in the new year by firing 1,800 people in the name of "long-term and profitable growth"
The quest to appease the immortal share price continues as game engine provider Unity announce that they're laying off …
You're viewing a single thread.
Depends on who they fired… they were doing a lot of weird stuff unrelated to game engine development.
I'll bet the people who decided to do that weird stuff didn't get fired though. Though I guess in this case it is a new CEO?
I mean the old CEO did effectively get fired for it. The new CEO is fixing the problem, presumably.
The old CEO did exactly what the board asked him to & got his golden parachute as a reward for taking the flack.

I am sure they only fired the useless employees, they went looking for red staplers and people who forget the TPS cover sheet!

Unfortunately it takes more than just game engine engineers to run a company. IMO it might not have been the smartest idea to acquire all the companies they did, though, just to have them. I don't even think their acquisitions ever fully merged or did anything useful.
