I want to know who hired that fucking CEO and put him up to purposefully tank Unity.

This can't be anything less than a blatant attempt to destroy a company so who would have a vested interest in destroying Unity? It can't just be for money.

Its the same ethos of those CEOs that are demanding everyone must return to the office. No ifs, or buts.

They damage moral which takes years to build up, they further announce layoffs which destroys whatever moral was left.

These idiots never seem to be held accountable.

Honestly, these management types need to be case studied.

We have to start holding them accountable ourselves, because the system sure ain't gonna do it.

Yeah, it's looking like 1776 time.

He's a VC CEO, he's there to pump the company for everything it's worth for maximum stock returns.

I just checked the stock ticker for Unity and it fucking tanked. So that can't be it.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't put it past them to short their own stock while they make announcements then go long once things settle down...

How the fuck is that even legal?

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It isn't. That would be Insider Trading.

But it doesn't stop people from trying (and sometimes getting away with) it.

No one said they were good at their job

Maybe it grew too big or the wrong way for their taste? Good reason to fire a few hundred and restructure.

It is Big Godot pulling the strings to entice people to jump ship to their free and open source game engine. The plan is dastardly, but effective. Can't use other game engines if there are no other engines left standing.

You know, if Godot was actually a for-profit endeavor, I probably would believe you.

It's not only the CEO, it's all the board. Don't think he can do this kind of shit alone.

It can’t just be for money.

Lol (litterally)
