  • Unity Software said Monday that it would lay off about 1,800 employees, or 25% of its overall workforce, as part of a corporate restructuring plan.
  • The company said it is unable to “reasonably estimate the costs and charges in connection with this reduction, which it expects will be substantially incurred in the first quarter of 2024.”
  • In October, John Riccitiello retired as Unity’s CEO, while former Red Hat CEO James Whitehurst became interim CEO.

Every major business decision go to a vote?

Yes, especially when you plan to fuck over all your existing customer base, as was the case here. A lot of Unity employees knew this was a major fuck up, and would have never went with the plan
