Wow I never knew it was that bad. I hope you have something else lined up it sounds like everyone's employment is shaky

Yeah it's a bit of a shit show for sure. Unfortunately I do not have anything else lined up right now, I know that's an unsafe decision. My life has been a mess lately I can only handle so much at once and finding different work is exhausting

If you're a software engineer, and you're in the unity Austin area, lmk. Assuming you would be open to writing b2b software, the company i work for is huge, and still hiring devs.

I appreciate this, I'm not in that area though. I also plan on migrating back into making games for my next job because I'm a slut for corporate abuse

A friend of mine worked in a position I would have assumed was considered vital to one of Unity’s products, in fact to my knowledge they were the only one keeping that part running. Apparently the higher-ups were able to lay them off without much hesitation this time around. The company seems to be leaking hard.
