I guess true face of a company, similar to a person, shows up when things are not going super well. When money is free/infinite and you’re partying like 1634 (associative pic) it’s easy to have great perks, no accountability, etc. When shit hits the fan, you see how much of “we care about employees” there actually is - layoffs feel random and preferential, strategy in shambles, everyone’s running around like headless chickens.

@aras these are not fun times 😔

At least, I'm relieved and happy that we can bring 3 folks from Vilnius to the .NET Tech Group at Unity that you most likely hired in the past. With the hope that it will come back to a better situation in the future 🤞

@xoofx @aras not fun indeed.

Good to hear you could bring some in, as it's very uncertain times to be laid off in. And that they wanted to stay after that.

@joeldevahl @xoofx as an Outsider :tm:, Unity right now looks like Microsoft towards Ballmer era end. Microsoft managed to turn things around somewhat, but it required changes at very high levels, not just some random firings.

@aras @joeldevahl @xoofx Couldn't agree more. I am not surprised that this is how its going though, as this is exactly how people were saying it would go when they hired an 60 year old EA exec to be their new CEO. Out with the young and loved and in with the old bullies.
