The tech bubble is bursting. The CEOs in tech really thought that COVID lockdown era growth would continue infinitely, and seemed to bet their house on it. And now the workers must suffer the consequences, of the actions taken by these executives. It's all a bunch of nonsense and extremely unfair.

It's great to see the majority of workers paying for the mistakes of that big pricing fuckup that was approved by a minority of people in power. Just a normal day for capitalism, nothing to see here.
How do you expect a business to run? Every major business decision go to a vote? Or should a company that is bleeding cash not lay off anyone until the company shuts down and everyone is out of a job?
Every worker a member of the board
Lay off a few C-Suite. Abolish golden parachutes. It's not so difficult that a company can't run for a few months without execs.

Y. E. S.
This isnt as absurd as you think, its not the goddamn employees fault the execs suck ass. If there are performance issues from an employee that is different, but in general these moves are wholely driven by failure at the exec level.
So because the execs suck ass, everyone should lose their jobs instead of a fraction of the employees. Genius move.
Because the execs suck ass, everyone will lose their job eventually an yway.

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
The second one. It's funny that people think this is an absurd suggestion, too.
Actually there's a hidden option C!
The execs take a fucking pay cut for fucking up their company instead of subsidizing their wealth on the suffering of those who earned them that wealth.
I know I'm a little liberal on this one but anything over like 200k salaried should mean "I've done an amazing job helping the company grow"
Lmao, yeah, let's just let everyone join the unemployment line together. Big brain moves.
Doesn't matter, Unity is a dead man walking.
Godot FTW!!!
