Unity lays off 600 more

Era thread

Unity is cutting another 600 employees in its third round of layoffs in less than a year, The Wall Street Journal reported today.

The cuts equal about 8% of the company's headcount, and will leave it with roughly 7,000 employees worldwide.

Additionally, Unity is looking to reduce its physical footprint, cutting down its current 58 offices worldwide to fewer than 30 over the coming years.

Down about 900 employees this year, more including that first round of layoffs.

Hopefully they turn themselves around, but externally they look so mismanaged. After Hapax I'll need to really explore my options because I don't know if it's safe to dedicate another 5 years to Unity.

Miranda posted that she was fired two hours after tweeting this for "violating code of conduct"

Disgusting and petty behavior from the war-profiteering vultures running Unity these days https://t.co/shqQRKuTvg

Um wut? Of course you'll possibly be fired for publicly tweeting that. The tweet from Nichols seems like parody levels of hyperbole.

Not a good sign for Unity though that internal moral seems that low.

Y’all- don’t work at Unity and please find me a new job.

Not a good sign that Unity employees feel this way. Funny though that she tweeted this a few days ago yet everyone skipped over it to focus on her other tweet.

Was meaning to reply to this.

I don't think it's surprising that they got fired for that. I don't agree with firing for those reasons, but it's not surprising.

I was more sharing because it just seems like a sign that internal morale seems to be pretty low.

I figured as much. Just shocked by that tweet lol.
