Do these layoffs include any of the C-suite / execs / upper management? You know, the people directly responsible for the company's situation? Accountability? No?

I mean the CEO 'resigned' in October, if that's what you're looking for.

Also notable: > Unity will shut down offices in 14 locations such as Berlin and Singapore, pending employee consultation in some countries, and significantly reduce its office footprint for the remaining offices, including in San Francisco and Bellevue, Washington. > Unity will no longer mandate that employees work from offices three a days a week and will reduce "full in-office services" to three days a week in most…

Sound of a shoe dropping...

This started with the CEO being removed, so I think, Yes!

Except he's still getting paid until April. I doubt the employees getting the sack because of this will be extended the same sweet deal.

Pretty messed up that you can fuck up and make hundreds lose their jobs, and get paid for several months afterwards to do literally nothing.

Nice! It's nice to see a company make an employee-friendly movement here, as opposed to many of the other big players forcing their employees back into the commute rat-race.

It seems more like its to save money on office real estate and the fees that come with that like cleaning services, security, etc than it is about being employee friendly.
