After what they tried to pull a few months back I have no sympathy.

None for unity, but I have tons for the employees. Company execs made some dumb decision and now they are losing their jobs.

While the execs undoubtedly get additional bonuses and a nice cushy landing when they inevitably bail....

New CEO now though. Old CEO fucked Unity hard. Jim is the old RedHat CEO before IBM bought them. He was super well liked there. So I have some faith in him getting things back on track and having a good company culture. Just takes time and unfortunately wrecking ball some times. I speak as someone who has been laid off from corporate restructuring before. I found bigger better things with more pay.
