Unity Software is slashing about 25% of its workforce just eight months after announcing its prior round of layoffs.
  • Unity Software said Monday that it would lay off about 1,800 employees, or 25% of its overall workforce, as part of a corporate restructuring plan.
  • The company said it is unable to “reasonably estimate the costs and charges in connection with this reduction, which it expects will be substantially incurred in the first quarter of 2024.”
  • In October, John Riccitiello retired as Unity’s CEO, while former Red Hat CEO James Whitehurst became interim CEO.

    This actually could have been much worse. I heard they are trialing a system where they lay off one employee every time unity is installed, but luckily there have only been 1800 installs since September.
